Front Strut top mount Cars affected: Evo 4 onwards Symptom: A regular knocking noise from the front on turning. Similar to a CV joint problem although the knocking noise will be dependent on suspension travel. Problem and cure: The problem is associated with the front strut top mounts drying out or being inadequately lubricated. It is possible to remove the mounts and re-lubricate them using good quality grease. If the mounts are worn then they will require replacing, make sure the replacement mounts are adequately greased. Also consider fitting up  rated Ralliart or similar mounts. Remember to check the suspension geometry after working on the top mounts.   Approximate cost of repair: New set of mounts and fitting - approximately £200-£300 Back to question page
