KNOCKING FRONT SUSPENSION HYUNDAI GETZ

When someone reports a knocking from suspension a garage is unlikely to spend much time unless the knocking is either obvious or can be duplicated by bouncing or rocking or it is a very favoured customer.

Typically suspension/steering knocks and rattles do not cooperate and disappear once in the garage and so they must check the vehicle is safe and leave the rattle or knocking to develop. Lots of things can cause noise without being dangerous.

I was a mechanic in a garage in the days before time cost so much money and we took a different view of things. Then if someone brought us a rattle we mostly found it and cured it but sometimes the entire staff was employed driving around, bouncing, shaking , listening and sometimes it took hours. In those days the customer never paid for diagnosis - only the repair. That could not happen today...

On the right sort of road surface at the right sort of speed apparently good ball joints, steering racks and suchlike can produce awful noises. These sort of things often need to be checked and rechecked over a period before the source becomes obvious because road conditions cannot be duplicated in a workshop on a stationary car and no checking can be done on a moving car. It can take patience...

One typical knocking that is very difficult to locate is noisy valves inside the shock absorbers. Historically some car brands suffered a lot and others were no trouble at all so it is unsurprising some mechanics have never even heard the sort of racket they can produce that is obvious to no one except the occupants of the car.

Sway bar end links, or sway bar bushings.

Just check the front stabilizer links and the stabilizer bushing.

Hard to say without hearing it but check front stabiliser "d" bushes for wear & check all subframe bolts are tight. Does the noise stop if you press the brake lightly.

look at the front lower engine mount. I had similar noise which has been driving me nuts, thought may be thesway bar links, put it on friends hoist and saw that the front engine mount (mounted to bottom of lower radiator support) was cracked and the rubber bushing inside very worn with pieces missing. odd thing is that reving, or putting into gear never caused it to make a noise, just certain bumps. I ordered part from Autozone,hopefully it gets here before the holiday week end is over.
Good luck

Sounds like the Spring may be broken or there is another loose front end part such as a ball joint or a spring seat or something like that.

I had a broken spring on my 1990 Cadillac Deville and didn't know it until looking at it up under the wheel, and experiencing a popping or knocking sound when turning.

It could also be the bearing cap area problem.

check your stabilizer links common problem.one will have broken causing your noise.

the knocking is probably your front struts or your front drive shafts it probably sounds worse when you make sharp turn.

Stop driving and have this checked out ASAP.

You have a worn, loose or broken track rod and/ or streering rack. Also the front suspension should also be checked just to be safe

front strut tops make his noiset
