i would check the subframe to body mounts first there at the rear of the subframe cheap and pretty quick to change

I am really hoping it is something simple to be honest, what with all this distributor stuff still to fit Crying or Very sad

This evening I heard a strange knocking noise from the front when going round the roundabout.
So I got home and got my dad to take it for a spin just to check it over, however on
closer inspection it seems that the front subframe is moving when I turn the steering wheel from side to side.

My dad has decided that it would be a unsafe to carry on using the car until we can take a proper look.
We are suspecting that it has something to do with the subframe mountings but haven't had a chance to take a look in daylight yet.

You could be RIGHT there Alex.

Also check the teardrops on the front of the subframe too and the tiebar bushes..

You may find that the Steering rack U clamps might be loose.. they are inside on the bulk head..the ones that are vertical.. dont over tighten them though.

If you get stuck we will be at the show ground at 3pm ish and we will have tools and spares..

Very Happy
