Help! Knocking noise coming from front left wheel

[credders]

Seen this topic in some forums but wanted to get some opinions. Just put new Meister R GT1 coilovers on and now I have this knocking noise that happens when going straight. When I accelerate its knocks faster. Seems like it could be a number of things ie wheel bearing, CV joints, worn bushings etc. Here is a couple videos of the sound. Appreciate any feedback thanks

Make sure the top nut is good and tight on them,
I had a similar issue with the Caldina with BC coilovers, had a wild knock but couldn't work it out, turned out the top nut had slackened a bit on passenger side front, Allen key and a ring spanner is The way to tighten them.
Also check every other nut and bolt you can round the suspension including the roll bar bushes, had 1 on a Celica years ago went bad and it knocked too.
Pop the bonnet and shake the shit outa the car see if you can hear or even see the noise, that's how I found the Caldina knock in the end, Bonnet open and 2 of us shaking the car, I could not only hear the knock but I could see it too

yeah, i've had the same issue with meister coilovers in the past...easy fix in that particular case as skiny stated.

So it’s my whole cv joint axle. Does the glanza share the same part as the paseo or Tercel or any other Toyota by chance? My car still has abs and a factory lsd. Thanks

Is it the inner, outer or both ends away Bud ?

 

[credders]

Both ends

The joints are slightly beefier on the GT (I assume the glanza also?) but the fitment is the same. You just need to get the right spline counts.

The slightly less beefy joints should still do you fine as long as you aren't abusing them or running big power.

Alright so I’m having “axle bind” from lowering my glanza. At least that’s what a shop has told me. I raised it back up a little and the knocking has gotten quieter but still there. They are saying I need to replace my driveshaft. Saw in some older threads on here that the driveshafts with an lsd are shorter? Just want to confirm that there is a difference. Should I try and replace the outer cv first to see if that helps? Any advice is appreciated as I have only been able to find 2 places that I can get those driveshafts from but I’m doubting either will fit properly. Also wondering if anyone else has had this problem cause I’ve seen a lot of people lower their starlets quite a bit. Thanks
