Hi Douglas, thanks for supporting my channel with your visit, besides being a mechanic for 30+ years (relied on experience), I could hear a knocking sound coming from the front whenever I drove over a speed bump, I did the normal checks for tie rod end, cv joint, ball joint and lower control arm wear, but all was fine, only the top shock mountings were left to check and it turned out to be so.
@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790 great diagnosis. Thanks for your reply. That really helps me. I recently bought a high mileage volvo that makes a knocking sound when ever I start the engine or pull of from a stop. I'm thinking it could be one of the engine mountings. I have inspected suspension and all seems to be fine. What do you think?
According to your description, it sounds like the bottom brace bracket that is worn, it is attached to the lower part of the gearbox on one end and to the body on the other end it has rubber mouldings on each end which could be torn or worn, worth a visual inspection while jacked up in front. Gary
@@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790 thank you for your help Gary. I will give it an inspection. Keep up the good work with the videos. They are very helpful.
I have the same car in the UAE, I use 3L of engine oil. It's a 2004 car with 1.6L engine with 545,000 kms. I like how reliable these cars are!

Hello sir good day! Before the strut mounting in front shock of nissan sentra before put it, is there a bearing or none? Kindly answer me pls..
No bearing
When I tightened the center on top it went snap then the entire shaft kept spinning with the bolt. Is that a problem or is it normal?
Grate video thanks mate.
Thanks for your support, I am glad you liked the video.
good job man
How were you able to locate that the noise was coming from the shock mounting?
