Are the coils seated properly? Did you check the trac bar bolts?

I had the same problem, turned out it was the track bar bolts.

So I took a stroll out to my Heep and I'm assuming that I can hear a click when I push hard on my upper track bar mount, that the bolt needs to be tightened. Man I was going crazy. Now to figure out what is squeeking in my door panel and glove box. Then shell be as quite as a whistle

So update/Bump My slip yoke eliminator doesnt engage my oil seal all the way. Leaks a little bit of fluid. Think that could be the knock? I want it gone.
