Xantia help needed

Morten · Post by **Morten** » 25 Mar 2005, 03:21

Hi, I got a '94 Xantia with a rattling/knocking noice in the front of the car. It comes when I pass "sharp" edges or holes in the road. The strange thing is that this only occurs when I turn to the left or right. Nothing staight ahead. Roll bar drop link replaced 2 days ago with new from GSF, and this reduced the knocking. Lower balljoint and wheelbearing replaced both sides 10K ago. Any ideas? Track rod balljoint?

I struck one on a BX the other day that was interesting. The bolt on the end of the power steering ram was hitting the lower control arm where the bush fits when the car was turned right and a bump hit.
Might be worthy of a look.

Subframe loose, wishbone rubbers gone, steering joint - possibly inner rack, loose rack?

Sounds daft but some of the pattern ball joints are not too good, had one on my BX last barely 10K
