Knocking noise from front end

2009 Saturn Ion - Knocking noise starts when turning key in ignition and while car is running. Sounds like it is coming from under dashboard. Does not fluctuate in noise while driving..just a constant knocking noise. Banging on dashboard, turning heat on/off does not help.Heat works fine, car runs fine except the knocking noise.

SOURCE: Knocking inside left rear panel

It is possible that this may be your electronic fuel pump cycling on off to maintain fuel pressure. It may be an indication that the fuel pump is on its way out.... Have you done a trouble shoot with an auto manual specific for your Explorer yet? There should be a process of elimination guide or chart to help isolate the problem.

Hope that helps...=)

SOURCE: Are my struts out on my 04 Saturn ION?

I agree. I see sway bar links go bad and make nosie much more often than struts on Ion's. Take it to a service center you trust.

Knocking nosie from left side of 06 saturn ion? hear it all the time but mainly after 2nd gear when it shifts is the worst part?

Have your motor supports checked. Also the drive shaft could be causing the problem if that knocking is not coming from inside the motor.

Knocking in front end had linkages replaced but the knocking is still there

replace the front struts AND the turn plates above them, they call those the "strut kits". it houses a bearing plate that turn with the steering wheel.... if the struts are too expensive to replace right now, just have the strut KITS replaced. Very common with 80K+ front wheel drive cars and almost always an area most people look over. good luck

AC Compressor

try having someone kill the a/c while you check for the noise. if it stops then check further into the compressor where you said you thought it was coming from. It could be the bearings in the compressor clutch going out.
