Knock, Knock......Who's there? ~~~~~~ Help please
Hello.
Eack time the weight in my car is tranfered from front to back, or vice versa, I head a single, loud, solid knock that seems to be coming from inbetween the front wheels. It only happens when braking to a stop or accellerating from a stop, so just when the wieght is transfered.
Here are the mods in that area:
-TRD Shocks
-Tein S-Techs
-Hotchkis Sways
-Draxas Exhaust
-Just removed MMW Header to put Stocker back on
I have had all the suspension components on for a while now without any problems, but when I put the stock exhaust manifold back on is when the sound started. But that is a factory peice~so I dunno.
Any ideas?
Thanks, BrianH

could be the piece on your brake pads tapping into them. How long have your pads been on for? its not a bad thing that its happening (if thats what the problem is). I had the same question but it was only happening to me when I would pull out of my driveway for the first time in the morning ...and hit the brakes. Since you arent doing this that might not be the problem. First thing I would do would be to make sure your bolts are on secure on the struts ... thats an easy check - start there and see how it goes.

Thanks for the reply guys. I don't think it is the pads because the brakes have just 12xxx on them and every baking component is factory.
For some reason I feel like it should have something to do with the header / s-pipe.
I will definitly check ubder the dust covers of the top hats of the struts. I had that as a problem with the rears not to long ago.
ANy other Ideas, keep em coming!

Dude, I was traveling all day yesterday: 2 car commutes, 2 plane rides, and a bus that stalled on the railroad tracks~~~long day. I was just trying to get home, not check car forums. You didn't even give me 24 hours to respond to a PM before you try to make me look bad in some completly different thread! And yes the header went out just when I said it would, last week.
Keep it on task now......

I have the same problem except mine is coming from the rear.
Here is my story:

things we have in common:
TRD shocks
Tein springs (mine are H techs)
hotchkis sways (I only got rear installed)
