knocking from underneath??

**blue02Z** · 12-29-2006, 10:25 PM

i've got this knocking from underneath my car and i cant figure it out

. everything is tight as far as i can tell. it only happens on off-camber situations like driveways and such. my exhaust hits but that is not it. it sounds like if you were standing on a dock in lake with a piece of wood floating and hitting the dock underneath. thanks everybody

does it do it on hard acceleration? Have you checked the tranny mount?

**blue02Z** · 12-29-2006, 10:52 PM

na, its on slow manuevers. i did change the tranny mount a few months ago tho.

Is it as you go over or stop on? IF ita as you go ever check that all your shocks are tight on the mounts, then move to the rest of the suspension. coul also be aloose body panel flexing and popping as well. The top on my Jimmy (fullsize with fiberglass top) pops when I go off camber somtimes, mind you i'm crawling out of ditch too when it does.

Yeah, i have a similar problem, and would like to know what u found out too

**blue02Z** · 01-07-2007, 04:57 PM

hey, sorry for the delay. i could not figure it out. everything is tight and nothing seems to be rubbing. i got under hit and grabbed and hung on everything. it all acted the way it should. i'm stumped. maybe when i put on the sfc it'll go away

i've been reading on bmr's website and i think the rear control arms are not tight enough. i'll find out and let ya'll know

**blue02Z** · 01-08-2007, 05:27 PM

it was the control arms in the back. i anchored those bitches down and it went away. hope this helps
