2001 S80/T6- Front suspension knock

[Geoff]

I have knock, both sides , in the front suspension on S80 /T6. 2001. 98000
mls.
Its been there for about 12 months - it drives me mad.
Suspension knocks when the smallest hump , or hole is driven over
even at a modest speed , it feels and sounds down by my feet.

Items changed so far ----
Both front drop links.
Both front lower ball joints.
Both front ( Front ) track control arm bushes.
Both front ( rear ) track control arm bushes.
Anti- roll bar - complete.
Top engine stabilizer bush.
both steering links - Rack, to track rod end,
Finally both front suspension struts complete with spring cup and top mount.

The knock is still there . Volvo main dealer and local garage are mystified
if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Geoff

Nothing about rear sway bar links ?

"*-344-*Never Forgotten"
Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.
The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as
long as I live,
nor should any American.

Geoff:

S80 T6 with 92K myself. Had the same knock.

During the 90K servicing back in January, the Volvo dealership found
that I had a broken motor mount. After they replaced it, the sound
went away. I did ask them later if that could have transmitted
knocking through the vehicle when traveling over bumps...apparently,
yes.

So you might look into that...
