[Solved] GOLF V - Left Wheel Knocking Sound Over Holes & Uneven Surfaces: New Shocks, Springs & Bearings

Hello, I have such a problem recently, I started to knock something in the left wheel while driving straight ahead at low speed when the wheel hits a hole unevenness, you can hear a strange knock, shock absorbers have been replaced x2 spring ok, pillow Shock absorber bearing new, rod stabilizer, rocker pin, hub with the bearing because it was humming, the joint at the hub and the knocking still shows, at the diagnostic station it was said that it is ok and I have no idea what can knock like that, I will add and knocking is like a wheel hits a hole unevenness, while when driving normally silence only shows as on a small the speed I'm going.


Anyone have any ideas what it could be ???? or where to go with it ??

99% swingarm pin. It's hard to check when the suspension is spring loaded, and it makes quite a lot of noise when it is slack.

I wrote that it is replaced with a new one, I wonder if the end of the steering rod can knock like this because I already have no idea.

Tip can be checked - easy access.
I am surprised that the suspension was not replaced with such a renovation.

You probably wrote by editing, because there was no mention of it.

Check also the feet of the engine, gearbox, brake mounts (pads, disc).
Arrangement of the spring in the sockets, the driveshaft joints.

What was missing from the suspension?

I am gradually making the suspension and only the tips are left because I have no other idea, and how can I check the tips myself if they are ok?

However, on Monday I will visit the control station for diagnostics again, I will see if anything comes out there.

You will not check yourself, you need someone to help you with the steering wheel at a standstill, and you can check what is happening with the tips.

Check the "sled" mounting to complete the set. Tighten or replace the screws.

I'm going to check the mounting of the sled, etc ... tomorrow I will go to diagnostics and see what's next ...

Added after 37 [minutes]:

The sledge is checked, the diagnostic station remains.

Make sure that another element is not breaking (I know the case of the gas filter knocking on the engine valve cover, it always knocked at low speeds when the right front wheel was driving into the hole). The sound was identical to the broken stabilizer link. As for the suspension - unfortunately to be verified again - something missed or spartolored. It is different at the stations, on one it is worn out, on the other they say that everything is ok (with the test, of course).

I have no gas, this thing is knocking in the suspension, on Monday I will come to the suspension and geometry checks to see if there are any backlash etc.

By the way, on the jack, ask to check the driveshaft joints.

I replaced the joint with a new one at the wheel hub, there is a mechanic on Monday and it will be easier to inspect and check the suspension because a lot is replaced.

The problem solved strange knocking is the effect of a damaged handle / spring of the brake pad that is embedded in the piston, probably the mechanic damaged the hub when replacing the hub and did not deign to put on new ones, which resulted in this knocking in the suspension, below the damaged block.

After replacing the brake pads, the problem was gone.
