Knocking noise on passenger side

Every time I press on the gas or let go of the gas, I hear a knocking sound on the right front side. I went to a shop to check my springs but they are fine. Im taking my RA to a dealer on monday. Any ideas on what the issue is? My car is 05 with 3k miles.

I have seen his car over the weekend. Everytime he would press the gas pedal (more than 30% from a stop) his right front wheel makes a popping sound. Something like hitting a header with a wrench.

Did you check the lugnuts on the wheel for proper installation? I had something similar-ish..turned out 2 nuts were farrr from torqued....:S

Good idea, altough he had the springs reinstalled at one of the professional shops. I doubt they would overlooked that.
Will check tough.
Hmmm, since they problem is still there they probably overlooked couple of things.

I have the exact same problem on my car... and it's going back to the dealer monday to have a spring replaced under warranty. It seems there was a bad batch of springs that can collapse a bit... and of course I was one of the lucky winners.


BTW: Did you know that, depending on the company, there can be a 14 to 17% variation in compression rate between two (supposedly) identical springs??? Aftermarket springs are made to tolerances of around 2 to 3%. Makes you think, doesn't it?
