Knocking in suspension and transmission (Focus 2)

If extraneous knocking sounds appear in the suspension of a moving vehicle, it is necessary to immediately determine their source, regardless of whether the knocking is constant or appears only when driving over uneven surfaces.

WARNING: Faults in the vehicle's suspension can lead to a serious accident!

Check the suspension according to the procedure described in Section 4 "Maintenance" (see "Checking the technical condition of the front suspension parts on a vehicle"; "Checking the technical condition of the rear suspension parts of a vehicle").

USEFUL TIP: It is better to check the condition of the suspension with the car installed on a ramp, inspection pit or lift, and if this is not possible, you can do this work on a free level area, although with less convenience. In any case, you will need an assistant.

It is quite difficult to diagnose the serviceability of transmission components based on the noise they make. If you are unable to accurately determine the source of the noise, contact a qualified specialist.

Repair or replace any faulty transmission components (see Section 6 "Transmission").
