Got a bit of a strange issue with my 200. After replacing all ball joints, links, shocks, springs, wheel bearings, inner tie rods and ends, top mounts. Calipers and basically everything else suspension related I'm left with a knocking noise.
It only does it when throttling hard from a stand still, it will only do it once and will not do it under throttle again until I brake hard, when it also knocks once. So seems to be somthing moving back and forth. Will literally only do it when launching from a standstill and emergency braking. It's a very harsh metallic knock.
Going totally out on a whim here, as I've had it in pieces 4 times trying to find the issue. I've had it up on my 2 post lift and bolt checked everything numerous times, I cannot find anything loose and everything is tight.
I've also checked
Lower engine mount
Upper stabiliser
Hub nuts
Wheel bolts
I've even put brand new genuine lower arms on
Absolutely pulling my hair out now (what's left of it after owning this car for 3 years)
I'm open to any suggestions if anyone has any
