Discovered a knocking noise over the past few weeks

and first thought it was the Front arb bushings but it only does it on cornering over bumps and not when wheels are straight so what to check/replace first as i know shocks are ok and rest is original 93 old tat???

Yeah its only on corners and is like a taping like as if the arb was loose and tyre wear is normal so i ruled out ball joints and rack :?

On my last car, I get getting tappety tappety knocking noises from the suspension. replaced, the ARB bushes, replaced the dampers, replaced the drop links and finally replaced every other bush on the car.... problem solved... and then the top mounts went :D :D On my R, the front is all new and working through the back now but it does feel like the 4th bridge sometimes.

Getting out the old bushes can be a pain (normally requires cutting, drilling, burning) and fitting them can be awkward too (Heating and greasing).

For my rear I think there's 12 bushes I need to do!!
