Check the anti roll bar bushes & brackets while you're down there.
You can't polish a turd - but you can roll it in glitter.

34-156A & 28-155 on here - http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html - 2 of eac on front & rear anti roll bars, these & droplinks are common issues.
Here's the drawing for the front - http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html

I was certain that my rear links were the cause of 'knocking' and changed them. #-o #-o #-o
Still there. :oops: It was the front links at fault, maybe at the speed I travel the sound got left behind. :lol:
