Knocking noise

My 2000 Daimler Super V8 (Supercharged VDP)is making knocking noise from steering wheel shaft area, which is clearly heard in cabin when the car is driven on a bumpy street.Suspension was checked and is blameless. Any idea what can be possible reasonfor this?

Thanks,
Tadas

RE: Knocking noise

I would start with upper shock bushings. We sell a kit that does both sides for $75. The bushings must be pressed on the old upper shock plate.

RE: Knocking noise

Thank you, Ken. I was a bit unclear, it seems that source of knocking noise is located in the cabin, somewhere around steering wheel shaft,in the lower part or belowfront panel. Or it still can be worn shock bushing?

Thanks,

RE: Knocking noise

the sound can easily be transmitted along components to sound like its coming from somewhere else,

i would look at the upper shock bushing, but also the anti-roll bar link bars at the front , these can look ok, but can be quite loose and worn ,

another possibility os a worn U/J on the lower steering column, these are known to fail, and a genuine Jaguar replacement is sold with a revision to the design , but its a big job to complete....as the whole lower section requires replacement

RE: Knocking noise

The noise is probably in the column. A part that has causednoise in the past is the cassette, it will cause a clunking sound when the wheel is turned if it is failing. The column needsto be disassembled anyway, just check it out.
