Need Help?

Ok, Ive had a knocking sound coming from my front wheel wells for the past few months. I finally got around to changing out the upper control arms and the bushings were shot to high hell. Even with the new arms in the knock is still happening. It only happens when I take off from a dead stop and it doesn't happen when I turn the wheel. The lower C/A bushings look to be ok. What the hell else could be causing this knocking sound

?

I had a knocking sound coming from the front end too, and it was a loose FSB. You might just wanna shake the shit out of things while you're under there, or with the car on the ground, bounce the frount end up & down to see if you duplicate it. If it's loud enough, it might also help to have someone outside listening for it while you drive away...

^^^I'm drawing a blank on what FSB stands for? I just had a buddy drive the car while I stood by the fender to listen. Under load, it sounds like a popping sound from the outside. Thanks for the help...
