Front suspension knocking - Not the Dynamic Response one!

I have read an re-read the huge number of posts of this problem (not the dynamic response knock) and am still unclear whether or not the problem has been solved.

Has it been solved and is that through uprated bushes please?
If so are the bushes suspension or anti-roll?

My car (TDV6 MY 07) - new to me (3 weeks) goes in next week and they have ordered a new anti-roll bar actuator.

Many thanks.

There were updated Anti Roll Bar bushes released which reduced the knocking sound considerably but the RRS is subject to the occasional light knock. Gone: RRS : HSE : TDv6 : 57 : Java Black : Ebony : 20"

Ive had the same noise on my car, read tested all the posts.

Its actually the rack, there is play inbetween the rack bushes located in the rack body and the rack piston this causes knocking.


May be not on your car but defenetly on mine.

Attached is a picture to show the components, not a RRS rack but its the same idea.

Yes if I fit a new rack. The knock is so slight on my car I've not replaced the rack yet.

Knocking Fixed

Yep, it's the rack. I've had 4 sets of bushes replaced including the new style, twice. All to no avail. After the rack was replaced, going on 10,000km now, everything is perfect. Luckily this got fixed a month before the warranty expired. So, if you have the non-dynamic response knocking, the steering rack is your problem and solution. 2006 Black/Alpaca, Hi Ice, Dynamic Pack, 19" wheels, Clear Pack...

Is the new steering rack a different design, or the same as the original... i.e. is it likely to need replacing every time it wears out over anumber of years or km's!???

What kms did your problem first appear at enzo??

Interesting after 6 months of a continual clunk they changed the lower control arm bushes and ball joints, i had to wait for the new and improved design to be shipped from the UK. On severe bumps (your average Sydney road) i can still hear it... so do i need a second new steering rack Laughing Another Pommie Bar Steward down under
