Knocking noise - any idea?


Recommended Posts

Hey folks, I've got a Smart ForTwo 451, for a few months now I've had a knocking noise (as per video, first audible knock is 0:05 then 0:17) coming from what I assume is the front of the car. I've had the car looked over twice now and on both occasions had 'everything is fine, on your way' yet the knocking persists. 

 

Any ideas or, anyone had anything similar?

Get another garage to check the strut bushings, maybe a broken spring and they can't see the top to know it's snapped off? Loose shock bolts? A arm bushings badly worn? Tie rod ends worn out?   
Get it to another mechanic who will look at it more closely. There isn't that much under there that this can be.   Just my bent nickle's worth....sorry.

By the way....welcome to the site....from an Ex-Pat.
