Hi

At first I thought about a fixed handbrake because it sounded like that the first two times. Unfortunately the noise increased now. It sounds knocking and occurs shortly after cornering or on a straight road. At 20kmh you can often hear it up to around 50kmh. At higher speeds you don't hear the knocking.
Transfer case rubbers look ok. stabi and all other rubbers too.

What could i do to find the issue?

What year is your FL2? and how many km/ miles has it done? Could be a number of things first jack up the wheel and rotate it to see if you can feel or hear exactly where the knock is coming from, could be a CV joint? loose caliper? worn suspension bush? or a wheel bearing ? to start with. 2013 FL2 XS.

When mine was knocking last year with similar symptoms it was the drop link on one side.

It is a FL2 from 2010 with 253.000 km
Jacked it up but found no knocking sound.
No knocking if i turn the tire. Wobble the hole car on the tailgate from the side and hear nothing.

With the car securely off the ground get down and give the drive shaft a good shake at both ends at varying points of the wheel rotation. There shouldn’t be and play, if there is the CV joint is gone at the end with play.

Hi,
i think i need a mechanic. Found nothing under the car that tells me that is it.
Some friend told me, that i should sit in den Back and aome friends drive the FL to hear it better. I think i will try it and also call the Garage.

Sounds get transmitted around and it can be deceiving where the noise is really coming from. You need some chassis ears. You can get wireless versions now that you Bluetooth to your mobile phone or tablet. You attach them around the car on/near the bits you think might be making the noise.
