Intermittant knocking sound...

Hi,

My subi has started making an intermittant knocking sound, louder than in the examples on page 3 of this forum, but only intermittantly, and seemingly only at slow rpms. If goes away around 2000.

Power steering fluid is full, oil recently changed.

Would a bearing/rod issue be intermittant, or does anyone else have any ideas?

Thx
Martin

Re: Intermittant knocking sound...

could be your flex plate on the way out...

Try using an engine stethoscope (or a long screwdriver) when the engine is making the sound to isolate where it's coming from.
