Weird knock/click type noise in engine bay.

[aciasche]

Hey guys jst got a quick question,

im hearing a kind of knocking/clicking noise in the engine bay when driving the car. it usually happens under hard acceleration and braking. Im thinking its the shocks since ive lowered the car on super low kingys and havnt changed the stock ones but im not sure if they make that much noise when they r blown?? there is also a scraping kind of noise in both wheel bays when the wheel is in full lock and im going into a driveway or over a bump.

has anyone had this problem bfore?? i tried searching but didnt find anything..

thanx in advance

Check the struts are tight and the spring isn't rubbing on any metal...

Wheels are rubbing on the inner guard plastics, not much you can do about that, just don't turn on full lock...

your strut tops could be toast.

my 2003 sportivo is making a similar noise and im not too sure what it is, when i accelerate it makes a knocking sound, only on straights though when i turn its fine theres no sound im not too sure what it is, going to take the front wheels off tomorrow to see if i can see anything
