ecproductions143 is on a distinguished road
Replaced passenger side 6 months ago and today i noticed it was starting again. Maybe it could be tension strut bushings. Does the 3.0 have these?

Isambard is an unknown quantity at this point
Most likely your front thrust arm (tension strut) bushes. No.7 in pic.



I used to get a knock going over speed bumps too. I replaced them, no more issues.

get the Meyle HD bushings, and you will be happy. I would say replace the arms and ball joints too so its done in one shot
