kennett Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Or anti roll bar drop link, had a vitara with the same problem and the ball on the anti roll bar had completely rotted away. But that was a s red 2l td, so may be different on a grand vitara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have to say, I had a vitara that had a knocking noise, searched everywhere, had it up on ramp etc, found the problem about 3 months later when the prop snapped at the universal coupling at least I was able to stick it into 4wd to get it home, with the prop dragging,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
