Anyone have any suggestions?
I have a starwagon(L300) 4X4 2.4 raised 50mm from standard.
When turning into parking spaces the front suspension klunks & bangs on occasion on paved or unpaved roads. I have had it looked at by 4X4 suspension repairers who said "It the geometry set up of the manufacturers that at fault".
From what I can see, the geometry on 2WD L300 is similiar except for the placement of the torsion bar. My workshop manual confirms this.
Any ideas on what causes the noise?

Upper control arm bushes are common to go on these. Could be excess play thats causing it to knock. Need to really get the car on a hoist and look to find it 100%
