phil6062 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 hi as I am new to the modifying world, am just going by what I am told... I bought a mb6 and today a knocking noise has appeared. the noise it not there when I am giving her throttle or when I am braking, but when I let my foot off the throttle the knocking noise begins, I contacted the previous owner and he told me it could be the coilover, he told me the coilover are for an ek model and that's what it could be? I don't know and wonder if anyone else came across this problem or do they fit properly to start with? thanks philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Noise from where.?? Can you hear where roughly it from? Must admit doesn't sound like shock. Definitely not because there from an ek. That will make no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 As above mate, need a little more description. But almost definitely not a shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil6062 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 hi, the knocking/thumping sound is definitely coming from the front end, just when I let of the throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Engine mount?That's what've was thinking. Have you tried listening when revving at a stand still?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil6062 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 just took it for another spin there, dont think it is the shock now, as when i turn the wheel to the left it doesnt knock as much, and when to the right it does, but alot on the let off?

Grant Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 On full lock mate or just on a gentle turn?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Unlikely engine mount. I've experienced some insane engine movement in a civic and still no knocking. Just chucks you about on gear changes.Still the more info the better. Very hard to diagnose noises without hearing it yourself. Still hard even then sometimes.A worn cv joint could knock as you describe. As above is the there any noise on full lock??Failing that I think your going to need to get the car off the ground and start swinging off stuff see if there's any obvious movement in bushes. Ball joints and drive shafts. Or possibly something that has come astray. Exhaust, arb link etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
