Okay, so I have a knock coming from something in the suspension I think. It is really more than a slight knock. Anytime I hit the speed bumps at my work (NOT THE MALL THANK YOU VERY MUCH) at a slow speed and give my suspension time to compress any small amount and rebound normally there is a knock...or two. Clunk-clunk. I can actually feel it, not just hear it. Bushings? Something else worn out?
I've been under it numerous times yanking on suspension components trying to even slightly reproduce the sound. Not once have I found anything loose at all. I'm thinking of just buying a set of poly bushings and installing all new ones.
Some dude said it could even be the axle bearings(carrier bearings?). Of course he looked at my Disco and said 'what is that?' Hehe. I'm grasping at straws at this point.
Suggestions?
Oh, if this helps the diagnosis at all...I'm pretty sure the CV is going bad on the left from side. It only clicks when the wheel is locked all the way to the left and decent throttle is applied. With little throttle applied, no click. With the truck up on stands in the front, there is very little/no play in the tire, leading me to think it's not a bad bearing.
