i have had a knocking noise for ages now which makes my van sound like a shed its embarrasing i have a 1.9 td swb the only reason ive put up with it so long is because the sub is louder.ive taken it to two mechanics one said he cant see anything only slight play on the rack let it get worse and the other said it was the anti-roll bar bushes which he changed £40 quid down the drain, did nothing. i never went back did my head in after already spending a grand on full service inc cam belt rear pads and disks and 2 syncros. SO is there anyone that has an idea what it could be? is there a bush above the front shock thats hard to see/diagnose that could be causing this and if so any tips on how to do it.
