Hatasan Neutral Newbie June 19, 2013 Share June 19, 2013 Just came back with my family and bella from Ipoh. First time driving her up. Even though journey is more than 6 hours long, with nagging and vomiting kids behind, I am loving the experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count_duku 4th Gear June 24, 2013 Share June 24, 2013 Finally got my knocking noise resolved .. noise started after I replaced the front upper and lower arms. Noise was loudest during the warm afternoons, could be something expanded or grease got displaced. The local workshop greased the ball joints and bushings and noise seems to have stopped. I will probably opt for original Alfa parts at some point, parts ordered were the TRW brand from Jamie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topgun Neutral Newbie June 24, 2013 Share June 24, 2013 Yeah, I made a vow to only buy a Camry if I will have to carry around guests for business. Decide with your head, get any other car. Decide with your heart, it's the Alfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your knocking is on driver side upper arm? From speaking to the young chap, drivers side upper arm joint (if I heard right, my mandarin is quite bad). It was really obvious and loud, pak! Pak! even when going straight. Last fri fixed up to today still quiet, might have heard a muffled pop just now. I hope the grease don't wear off, actually bought some heavy duty "copper grease" in the boot just in case. The ball joint has a rubber boot and not serviceable, dunno how they got the grease in actually.. Edited June 25, 2013 by Count_duku Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmojon 1st Gear June 25, 2013 Share June 25, 2013 Finally had enough of the P zero's noise. Changed out the tyres. Now it is too quiet. Feels unreal at first then start to notice other noises that was drown by the tyre noise previously. So better install back the old tyres?

Your knocking is on driver side upper arm? Yeah the knocking sound came back .. next round maybe try thicker grease, and figure some way with Eric's help. I think they know the issue, just the initial greasing didn't last. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
