Car Forum / Citroen Cars / December 2006Knocking noise
Hi I just had my car mot'd and the test guy advised that I will need to get the antiroll bar replaced soon - there is a knocking sound as I am driving - could this be it - is it something that I should get done urgently - is it a big job ?? Thanks for any answers ! G > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks for any answers ! Sounds very likely. Usually it's the bushes that go, leaving the ARB slopping around and making a knocking noise, especially when you first accelerate and around corners. It's not a huge job and if you like your car (read: want to keep it for a while longer and want it to corner like it's on rails), try PU bushes. You get much more driver feedback, too. Paul Thanks for the info Paul. Is this something I can replace myself or will I need to take it to a garage to get it done ? Will it cause any serious damage if I leave it for a while ??? Thanks for your help with this, Im not really mechanically minded ! Cheers G > > Hi > > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Paul > Thanks for the info Paul.

I think you answer your own question regarding a DIY repair... As for damage, who knows as we are only assuming that the problem is the ARB bushes, if nothing else you need to have the cause confirmed and if you can't do it yourself you need someone who can to *look* at the car. > I think you answer your own question regarding a DIY repair...

Could be the joints at the ends of the ARB - they'll knock when going over bumps when worn IIRC TF > > I think you answer your own question regarding a DIY repair...
