96 GT-S St204 (5s-Fe) Making random Knocking Sound? :( - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #67132 6 posts Started by Mstoochn
I could be cruising on slightly bumpy roads.... Taking a turn at low speed, Jerking the wheel quick, Braking or accelerating hard and you will hear a Single "Nick or Knock" Sound from under the hood. The Sound seems to be sound too clear and audible to be within the engine.

Help!
Tie rod?
Knuckles?
Cv?
Engine mounts?
Something VERY BAD? frown.gif

I think i may have been hearing the same thing you are talking about, if you have stock gt rims remove the cap from the center of rim and check if bolt is loose, mine was so i just fit a nail in there and bent it to hold nut/bolt w/e it was on . Knocking sound dissappeared.

Put new Toyo Proxy 205/55/15's On it last week. Checked the bolts, they are tigher than my Gf haha, Didn't solve problem, Thanks for trying bro!

I will try and get a sound clip

Added: The Sound seems to be from fairly close to my feet, u rarely here it on the passanger side. Engine mount? Are they mounted front and back or left and right?
