    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

    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...
