Dont know if this has happened to anyone b4 but i'll ask! I replaced both front lower arms last weekend then when taking it for a drive after, it developed a really bad knocking/ creaking noise which seems to be on the O/S & is more apparent when cornering at low speeds. I have double checked all the bolts, which are all tight, and the draglinks are only a couple of months old. The only things i disconnected were the draglinks to get the arm out & i popped the front height corrector link off to move the roll bar out the way. Cant think what could be causing it! The O/S suspension arm was from the local factors so not sure if its a duff arm ive been supplied with as the bushes on the arm didn't line up very well with the holes on the subframe!

 

Cheers, Stuart
