I have a problem identifying the correct part for a Voyager. The car presents with a clunk/ knocking noise just below the driver peddles, i have accessed 2 different mechanics who have replaces the drop links and the Top Mount Strut at great expense considering the noise remains. The latest mechanic believes that it must be the Lower arm wishbone; however I’m reluctant to explore this as this again may not repair the problem.

Could anyone advise, if experienced this before?

Regards

I would suggest unbolting the links to the struts and drive the van for a short distance. If the noise is gone more than likely you have bad sway bar frame bushing (even if they look good) than need to be replaced and then the links reattached...

Nope! The mechanics’ have not got a Scooby Doo. I'll just have to wait for the clunk to get louder... Crazy!

I use a steelman wireless chassis ear for all my under car noises.works like a charm.has not failed me yet.one of the best peices of equipment that I have.You put clips on different areas components and can switch channels to isolate noise and pinpoint location.
