Inner tie rod ends
Inner tie rod ends
rob ok i found the source of my knocking - its the bushing at the inner of the toe control arm RH side. the movement is very very small and hardly noticable but when the arm is braced with a lever the sound stops.
for the tie rod gaiters, you can re use the clips but have new ones or alternates at hand just in case as they are a PITA to re install.
sorry i was talking out of my hole... its the camber control arm, NOT the toe obviously!
its known as the lower control arm #1

its the bushing where the camber adjuster bolt goes through.
it has about 1mm play, squeeks and you can feel a slight amount of movement when twisting the wheel ( car in air) with the arm braced with a tyre lever, no noise and no play.
Think you changed these bushings already though???

as u have powerflex bushes on 1 side you need to put them in the other side, they are expensive, thats why i went for the rubber bushing kit.
get a tyre lever and play around with that arm and see what u can find - best is on a lift and a mate to rock the wheel at 3 and 9 position
ah, its really best to change both sides at once, now that 1 side is firm and new i guess the other side is highlighting any wear present.

10-08-2018, 04:31 AM #14Just come back from http://http://www.alineyourcar.co.uk/and had a quick geo check after having tons of parts changed and it's all sorted now.we also found out that the front drivers side camber bolt had become loose and this might have been the main cause of the knocking,but for £38 fir a full geo I can't moan at all.

dont bother trying to press them out - get a blow torch heat up the outside of the arm and also the bush metal sleeve - you can now tap the rubber part out. Then using a hacksaw cut a slot in the bush sleeve, you can then easily remove the sleeve after.
use a vise to press the new bushing in - i put a smear of grease on the bushes before pressing them in.
i did the lower control arm bushes...

did you do the inner tie rods? can u list what u have changed?
I ask because after replacing all bushes on the lower control arms i still have the knock.. the bushes needed changing as play was present but its a right PITA to think you found the issue and it hasnt been resolved.
ill have to drop it into somewhere with a 4 poster lift and see if i can find what is knocking now.

anti roll bar links
lower control arm 1 & 2 bushes
outer tie rod ends
all ball joints
just check the camber bolts,as even if its a little loose it will knock.
we checked everything at the garage for loose play and there was nothing
