Excellent video. There's so many videos elsewhere with music playing so you can't hear the fault noise let alone the mechanic. This guy explains things simply and clearly and gives a much better indication of how to diagnose the fault.

I have watched a bunch of videos and this one was excellent. Thanks for mentioning the possibility of the bearings on the shocks and the whole idea of parts that move up and down versus those that move diagonally or side to side.

This video is very good. This guy explains everything very well, and covers all possible scenarios, and pictures while he is speaking. A very well put together video.

This is a clear and concise diagnostic video. I have a 2010 Audi A3 that had an incredibly irritating rattle that was getting louder. I tried to diagnose the problem several times. I could only re-create the noise if I pushed the car side to side very hard with the wheels straight. I visually inspected everything multiple times and grabbed the tie rod for the sway bar and tried to shake it but couldn’t find the problem. Because of this video I took the wheel off another time and checked all the nuts on the shock absorber to discover that the rattle was the upper tie rod nut being loose (even though it didn’t look or feel like it was). Thank you!

Nice... that's what I did too ...I thought someone else would have the same issue Thankx 4 sharing man!

My spouse made me feel so diminished because he was mad about not getting to the restaurant and stated it makes it because of the bumps and it was fine. Drove it back and I just went to the house while he went with our son in his car. He berated me for not caring enough to make an appointment (I need to get rotation and balance AND new set of tires), even though I had three daily alarms and called twice but the offices were closed. Smh. Thank goodness for videos like this to help diagnose and understand the shop when they quote a repair.

Hi, my A4 B8 had a minor popping noise from driver undercarriage when taking off in a straight path from stationary to gear 2, 3 and 4. I have replaced all the front control arms bushings for your info. Do you suspect the problem to be caused by shock absorbers or something else?

Much appreciation sir... I have the same noise. Will do the test

Very useful, and concise and easy to understand explanation. Thank you.

Great video !!, for me it was the sway bar bushings and the sway bar links. The rubber covers on the links had tore. And the rubber bushing had wore down on the right side causing movement creating that clunking sound....no more noise, it cost around 350.00 to replace links and one set of two bushings for sway bar. Start there before you start replacing shocks and suspension parts...word to the wise. I hope this comment helps because mechanics want to sell struts and major suspension parts. Find someone who is honest and have a talk with them.

Gerard, whereabouts is your garage based? I'm in need of a suspension check

Hello, In the new generation vehicles, the anti rolling bar rubber bushing and the iron bar are combined and welded. In my Renault Megane 4 vehicle, the anti-roll bar and the anti-roll bar bushing were welded together. In other words, if the bushing is broken, not only the rubber bushing is changed, but the complete anti rolling bar itself is changed. Is this true? While the bushing would be changed for 20-30 bucks, we would buy a anti rolling bar for a figure like 300 bucks. Can't this bushing pressed or welded on the iron be scraped off and replaced with a new bushing according to the diameter of the iron? Thanks advance

Nice vid. One thing I didn’t hear mentioned is control arm bushings. Those can also make a similar sound when going over uneven or bumpy terrain. If you have an early 2000s Infiniti G35 (and maybe Nissan 350z/370z) this is a very common issue. It happened to me. When I replaced the control arms I replaced the bushings with polyurethane bushings and it looked like they were going to hold up much better or even solve the issue. Unfortunately I totaled the car so now I’ll never know

Have and a knocking noise in my Vito dualiner sport since I got it in 2008, 160,000 miles later, it is getting more frequent, only on straight bumpy roads, feels like it is just under both footwells, have had it to two different Mercedes garages, and many private garages over the years, and they all tell me its fine, it passes the DOE ,(MOT in UK), every 12 months, never had an issue with it, other than regular servicing every 20,000 miles, the drive shaft was replaced at about 80,000 miles, and I changed all disks last year, simply because of age. On ya, and both window regulators have been replaced.
