i have a 2001 integra...just recently..i heard a knocking noise coming from my driver side wheel...knowing a little about cars....i first thought it was the wheel bearing...so i had a new one pressed in the hub....still had the knock...so i then thought i was my axle...so it was replaced...still the same knock..no change...i double checked everything...bolts are locked tight..everything seems pretty much in place...my car is lowered...about 3 inches...wheel bearing is brand new...axle is brand new...i can feel the knock through the steering wheel at low speeds...it feels like its rolling over small bumps...after higher speeds it goes away...any help?? thanks!!

Hi japostol78,

Check the steering linkages, stabilizer bushes and end links and steering box free play.

thanks for the reply....i rechecked everything...i actually replaced all my boots with energy suspension boots....knocking is gone....some shaking though...thinking it may be my shocks...car is lowered so it may have worn it out...
