mysterious knocking need some ideas...
ok so at first i thought it was my ground contorls causeing this knocking noise when i make a left turn. i recently switched to kei office coilovers and the noise has since gotten worse.
so here is what happens. if i make any left turn while on the throttle even if its just a little bit off throttle i will get this knocking sound.
the knocking sound sort off like someone knocking on your fender with there knucle seems to be coming from underneather the center console benath the car. i can also feel the vibration on my gas pedal as well.
i have checked the cv boots. wheels has no play so i don't think its the wheel bearing. someone may have suggested axles. i don't know what do you guys think.

does it sound/feel like it could be coming from the strut assembly? the cup that goes above the spring could be making the noise if it was put back on incorrectly... i didnt realize one time when i did my springs that i put it on backwards, it says out i believe on it to show you which side faces out. when i was making somewhat hard left turns i would feel a little click almost and i would hear a noise coming from the front... when i got my progress springs and installed them i realized what the problem was... just a thought you might want to look into

If you've snapped an endlink, that'll most likely be a dealership item (or Courtesy Nissan might be cheaper). Our cars don't use what I know as a customary type of endlink. If an endlink is snapped, you'd be able to tell from excessive front body roll. I know I could tell when I had snapped one.

Unless you took your front sway bar off, you have one. They are standard equipment. You can get new polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension from several sources (Courtesy Nissan, Pep Boys, etc). The sway bar is 20mm, and the Energy Suspension part numbers are on Courtesy Nissan's site. There was also a post on here with the install and part numbers. Poly bushings seemed to have given my car a very minor increase in steering crispness.

uhmmm i am no longer on ground controls. however i am still on coilovers(kei office)
me and the head tech spent a good hour trying to pin point where the sound is coming from and we were still at a lose. he said with more time he would be able to figure it out but until then. its a head scratcher.
ill keep you guys updated.
