in my AUS 97 SX when i start driving i get some knocks (sound) in the front right wheel well, after driving for a bit (sometimes u dont get them at all) they go away and its all cool, but me and my dad had it up on the hoist and the CV and all that is tight as and we dont know what it is.

anybody got any ideas?

Hmm I'm not sure what it would be the best thing would be to go get a check up at pedders, I'm going to sometime cause I'd like to get this problem sorted too.

But also check if its your shocks because if they are original they probably need replacing anyway.

f**k i mite hold off on that coz i casnt afford shocks atm haha, ****ty pay from part-time job after school

haha best bet would be to get it checked out, probably isn't anything major and our cars still handle with bad shocks, I mean compared to commodores and such.

Lots of noises happen when cars are cold, some are easy to find some could just be one loose bolt that is hard to find, one word pedders haha.

any of you guys have any updates on this? I just found out that the shaft on my car is already broken on the passenger front side. I might need a new axle assembly, yes? no? I had the same knockin sounds... I would really appreciate it if somebody would point me out on the right direction. Thanks all and sorry for jacking up the thread.
