Kitt Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I own a 1993 MKIV NA Supra ( JZA80 ) and I've got a strange knocking noise on the front passenger side when I pull away slowly, go over a speed ramp slowly, or even once the car has stopped, ignition turned off, get out of the car and hear this strange sound ... I've been to Toyota on 3 occasions and they can't find any faults and the only thing they can suggest is a faulty front shock absober. When you are driving along normally you can't here a thing, it only seems to occur at very low speeds. Someone please help as it's driving me nuts !!

Rob Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I sometimes get a knocking if I pull away in second gear at too low revs, but never when the engine is switched off. It could be a Japanese mechanic who has been welded into the bodyshell during manufacture, a bit like the SS Great Britain myth. These guys are quite small.

Rob Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I did have this on my old celica, and it turned out to be a loose hub-nut, a castle nut on the celica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
