knocking noise coming from front of 2004 saturn vue - usually when going over bumps or over 65 mph
Country: United StatesMake: SaturnModel: VUE Red LineYear: 2004
Hi,can you tell where the noise seems to be coming from - left front, right front, left rear, or right rear?anything been checked/replaced yet?
it appears to be more on the drivers side - had brakes rotors etc replaced twice in last year
Hi,Ok, the first 2 things to check are the sway bar links for play at their connection to the struts and sway bar, and then the sway bar bushings. any excess play or worn bushings in either will cause the knocking noise you hear:If ok, the upper strut mounts need to be inspected for excess wear or separation between the rubber mount and bearing plate Please note, your Deposit doesn't constitute a payment.

is this common on the saturn? could it be bearings? and how expensive is this?
Hi,fairly common on this year and age Saturn. wont be the bearings. they make a humming or growling noise that starts at about 20mph and increases with vehicle speed. They also make noise on any road condition.If sway bar links, about $80 parts and labor. If sway bar bushings, about $140 parts and labor.If strut mounts, then about $330 parts and labor Please note, your Deposit doesn't constitute a payment.
