Right, hit a pothole a while back and caused some damage. Was getting a knocking sound going round left hand corners.

So, i've replaced control arms, tie rods, tie rod ends, anti roll bar links, diff wheels, diff suspension leg but i still get this knocking coming from what seems the right hand side even though it was the left that hit the pothole

Has anyone got any suggestions as to what can be causung this, it is really making me depressed about the car as ive had nothing but problem after problem since ive had it and its starting to put me off e30's which i didnt think was possible :cry: :cry: :mad: :evil:

Any help would be majorlu appreciated

Thanks

Have you check the ARB mounting points on the opposite side?

ARB mount would be my suggestion as well. Did one in myself a couple of weeks ago due to haring around a building site!
Sure you haven't damaged the subframe where the ARB bracket slots in?
You seem to have changed everything relevent on the suspension!
Sure the noise is coming from the front suspension?

Yeah, def coming from the suspension somewhere. Will check these arb mounts again as everything else is solid :?
