V70 steering knock

Bolton1steve · May 3rd, 2015, 16:53

I recently replaced both springs and droplinks for my 53 plate V70 after the nearside spring broke. All went relatively well but after 10 days i.I've developed a knock from the steering.

Had it up to check and all the suspension is tight and good.

I have noted that wen I start to turn, the offside steering link clunks slightly. Ball joint onto the hub feels fine, there isn't excessive play/lift in the steering wrack.

Any suggestions what this might be?

Hi you are in the wrong part of the forum for a53 car but did you replace the top suspension mounts ? They can sometimes knock or creak if the bearing is worn. I currently have an annoying light knocking on my V70 and suspect the top mounts as all other joints seem fine .
