Vz 2006 Ute. I have a rattle/knocking noise that’s slowly got worse over 2months (5000k). Is Lou deaf at 60kmph and strangely more heard on fairly flat roads (or what seems to be flat but isn’t). No difference if brake is on/off, not really any difference on corners or speeds, not wind chatter tho can sound like it at times. I can make the knock knock if I do tyre warming pit lane driving -swaying down the street. Is in front and sounds like directly below stereo but deep in engine bay. Mechanic had a look- checked sway bars etc but said strut mount PS is loose and wheel has play/movement in and out (the strut dust boot cover is shot to **** and all that’s left is a broken plastic ring hanging around the strut). I Left to think about it and awaits price but now the Check power train light has come on. Could the suspension mounts being rooted cause this light to now come on?. I also have a burnt looking Engine control relay tho it’s been like that for a long time if that matters. Mechanic quoted new struts and mounts etc $1100 so will get him to plug in OBD but for now was hoping someone may know if strut mounts being loose can cause the Light on dash.
