Knocking sound. Suspension? please help
This isn't an engine related sound. It occurs when I drive over bumps, and now and then it occurs when I put a load on the engine. It seems to be coming from the left front. At first I thought it was coming from my FSTB (the FSTB made some knocking/creaking sounds until I oiled the two pivot points). I've recently replaced the front wheel bearings but I've never replaced the tie rod ends, control arm bushings or steering rack. Any suggestions?

Um, steering rack = rack & pinion. So no.

1. The work that you recently performed (check it all over)
2. Motor mounts
3. Ball joints
