Hi everyone
I got my 2017 Metris April 2023. I installed the Reimo pop top and have been loving it! Best decision ever. I have put around 7100 miles on it, current mileage is 71,050. On Monday I drove about 3 miles, and immediately started hearing a knocking noise that sounded like it was coming from the driver side, front wheel well. I didn’t see anything sticking out, but I don’t know what I’m looking for. It’s just one single knock. It happens when I’m driving, if I’m breaking, when I back up, and even when I stop the car. I saw some old posts… But didn’t find any solutions for the problem. One thread I tried to reply to suggested I start a new one. My Metris has been at the dealer for two days and they are still trying to figure out what it is.
It’s like a single deep knock. Appreciate anyone’s input. Thank you very much.

They still have it so let us know when they give up. Sort of a lot of things that could make a sound in the front of the van and the detail you provided is pretty non specific. We can't hear it and you would need to describe it a lot better. Plus if you say trained techs aren't finding it where they actually have the van it makes suggesting something that much harder. They have probably already checked strut towers, brake shoes, tie rods, stabilizers, ball joints, lug nuts, piston return springs....

We are sympathic, but you have to understand this is sort of a car forum meme. My car makes a sound. What is it? It's nothing personal.
