This is pretty helpful. I have an inconsistent knock sound coming from the engine bay somewhere. Mechanic couldn't identify it and it's not entirely consistent with any specific activity. Sometimes driving over bumpy road will generate it, other times just turning will. It's low frequency in occurrence. This video is helpful since I'm guessing it's a suspension component somewhere or possibly sub-frame bolts. Maybe a video on how feasible it is for a DIY driver to install a camera or microphone in the engine bay to generate data for review? I think if I could replicate the sound for a mechanic, it would help them. Thanks for the video!

You would have thought a broken or worn out shock would have been listed or Coil springs .

A couple of additional comments. When it comes to front end parts like tie rods and ball joints, you typically won't hear or feel anything when they start to go bad, even it there's some play. These are two of the worst things that can break on a vehicle when you're driving. They need to be checked on a regular basis even if there are no drivability issues. Also, your method of checking the ball joints isn't quite right. When a ball joint starts to go bad, the play is up and down. You check by jacking the car up and getting the wheels a few inches off the ground. You then put a pry bar under the tires and pry upwards. In the video, you put the pry bar in between the ball joint and control arm, and pulled down. You have to go the other way because the springs are already putting a great deal of downward force on the ball joint. Going upward relieves the tension and allows you to see the play. If the ball joint gets to be so bad to where you can see the play by just putting your hands on the wheel and move it without the help of a pry bar, it should have already broken. I'm going into a lot of detail here because when a ball joint or tie rod actually breaks, you instantly lose both your steering and brakes. You have absolutely no control over the vehicle.

From a safety standpoint, the tie rod ends are what matters the most on the rack. Other issues involving the rack are probably not going to manifest themselves in the form of a knock. If its a late model vehicle, you'll probably have some DTC's present that will point to the rack having issues.

If the knocking noise doesn't come out when steering but only when driving over the bump or uneven road, is that still related to the strut mount?

@AT-wl9yq

@@valkman761 I think you may be confusing another type of issue with a strut problem. The strut housing is a solid piece of metal. It doesn't connect to a vehicle in a way that would be possible for any type of play to occur. You may be thinking of the top strut plate/bearing, that can wear out over time. But even with that, you wouldn't diagnose it by checking for play at the wheel. There's always tension on it even when you lift the wheels off the ground. If you do a little research on the issue, you'll find many ways to check for a bad strut. What you're suggesting with play when you move the wheel in not one of them. Its practically impossible. Or, you could be talking about something else and this is just a miscommunication.

Nice vid i got a bing problem i have a toyota yaris hacth back 2007 it has every thing new in the front i took it to a line the car and they cant do it because the car rolls to the front when they press the brake on the platform where they lift the car i have check every think and the mechanic told me it was the control arm but they are new from auto zone 2 month of use?!!. the car has control arm, shocks, rods, linkers even top mounts rubber base new what makes it roll to the front!!

My 2012 Toyota Camry driver-side tire started hoping after I clipped a curve. The hop is not severe but, more like vibration at about 30mph it then stops after the speed reaches above 35mph. I just changed the swaybar links on both sides thinking it would fix the problem, but it didn't do the job. My next guess is maybe the balljoint? Any thoughts on what might be causing this vibration on my driver-side tire? At some moments it feels like the vibration hopes over to the passenger side tire as well.

When the strut mount has been replaced it would stop then start again in a few months.
