    How dangerous is it if you leave it and put up with the knocking?

    • @CarsExposed
      @CarsExposed  6 лет назад +3

      Hi Peter very dangerous indeed !!! I know we can all cope with the knocking for a while but there is more to it. The strut mount is the pivot point for your shock absorber/strut that holds the whole weight of the car keeping it safely connected to the road surface and complete failure would affect massively the dampening therefore affecting the stopping distance when you put your foot on the breaks and handling, heavy steering and geometry of the car... I would also recommend changing it in pairs... i hope it was helpful 👍

      It only shows up on bumps and large amounts of lock. OK if you keep an eye on it but not for too long and would not recommend motorways

    no better feeling knowing you fixed it yourself, when your quoted £200+ for both sides when it's only £25 for the parts, i always research a job before attempting it and make sure i have the correct tools needed - video guides like this are so valuable too, plus there is the benefit of getting to learn a lot more about areas of your car which can be a big help for future jobs - i had a focus st170 - i got to know every bolt within 6 months - typical Fords

    nice vid for those not afraid to get mucky, i when using the clamps is to have the strut secured in a vice - if under pressure the strut fell over the clamps can break (remember the clamps are holding some serious force already) and if it did go - you will be a lucky person if your still alive, even with the clamps i also loop a piece of chain each side with a thick bolt - as i tighten the clamps i then tweak up the chain - adding bolts as i clamp more - then if the clamps give way the chain will stop you losing your head

    I have the same car. I replaced one lower ball joint, both track rod ends, both stability bars my car just past the MOT first time with no advisories but I had prior to the MOT and after the MOT a knocking noise from the front, sounds like suspension noise. My car pased the MOT first time ! Does a worn megane strut mount make a slight tapping noise over bumps ? I found my top strut bolts slightly lose so tightened them but it made no difference to the noise. I found play in my stability bars and track rod ends and replaced them all. The new stability bars cut out body roll dramitacally but I still have the tapping from front drivers side. Could this be the top strut mounts ???

  • @stevecaren1957
    @stevecaren1957 3 года назад

    hello, I have recently overhauled the shock absorbers and changed the headphones, but lately it is making me a creak on the front left side, when the car runs on disconnected asphalt or small holes.
    The noise seems to be much louder when the car is cold, while when it heats up it is less audible.
    I took it to the mechanic and he tells me that the shock absorbers are ok.
    what could be the problem ?? it's an annoying noise it seems like something in the wheel has loosened
