Thread: Knocking Noise in Front Wheel

Hello, I am a new owner of a 2001 Grand Prix and am having a problem with the front end.

Since buying my car in February I get a knocking sound in one of the front wheels going down the road. I have just replaced a bad ball joint with a Premium Napa one thinking that would solve the problem but it didn't. Tie-Rod ends, motor mounts and a bent axle have also been replaced under warranty from used car lot. The struts have been tested and are good. Any help would be appreciated, have to use the car to drive 40 miles to school a few times a week.

BTW, the noise occurs driving over bumps and poorly paved roads with cracks.

Subframe bushings, sway bar bushings, strut mounts, LCA bushings. You should check all those.

Good news, find out it was just something loose in the dash. Really not worth having to pull apart the dash since it really doesn't affect the safety and reliability of the car. My front end and suspension was good and today was able to do an alignment at the Tires Plus, that along with get a set of all new tires. If its just the dash I can put up with a little bit of dull knocking in front of the car.

Thanks Kolton Lock for your advice. According to my mechanic it looked like those parts you just mentioned where replaced shortly before I bought the car.

Nice ending to it!

I just always mention those cause I had a wbody with 220k miles on it, and that suspension was boned haha

Glad to see it was resolved!
