Can anyone tell me what steps i can take to get rid of this knocking noise that i have in mt front suspension. I just change my struts to KYB nitrous gas struts, and i still have knocking noise. what might it be???

It could be something else is loose, not associated with the actual shock itself....

the front end is a very weak spot on these cars.
in order of highest failure to lowest, this is what it could be.
1)lower lateral arms (theres a recall on these)
2)sway bar bushings (lots of wear on these).
3)struts (lots of wear on these, but you said they were replaced)
4)lower compression arm (lots of wear on these).
5)outer tie rod ends (occasional wear on these).
6)sway bar links (occasional wear on these).
7)upper control arms (rare wear on these).
so you obviously should have it checked out. im curious to know why you didnt in the first place, and just slapped some struts in it?

When i took to the dealer, they did a 28 point inspection and told me that i needed struts for the rear and the front also rear knuckles i changed the knuckles and the struts for the rear. the dealer to me that i didn't need any thing else..
