hello all, this being first post i should introduce myself and all that first.
my names alex im 19 and i drive a 1995 blue valver, which i love. most of the time.
Now the problem, my car has decided that having just spent £££'s on a new steering rack, track rod ends etc it is not satisifed and wants to cost me more money, i think. the problem i get is that everytime i boot it hard i can feel a thump in the footwell and sometimes hear it bang. The problem is worse in the lower gears. Tried putting the handbrake on,in gear and biting the clutch and it feels f***ing horrible, but the engine doesn't seem to be moving too much.
I've heard that it might be down to the dog bone mount becoming loose or broken so am gonna check that tonite, just wonderin if there was any other things i should check at the same time.
It has also just started making a single knock occasionally when i go right at a roundabout, when i start turning left and accelerating it knocks just once.
any help appreciated, cheers
