Check all the shock bushes. Have a look at the engine and gearbox mounts too.

If a nudgebar is fitted check the clearance between front cab bush and nudgebar bracket should be more than 10mm. Also check top brackets are not against the radiator bottom cradle

Nee man Kolie, is jy seker jy dink nie aan 'n AMAROK nie, hy knock knock op die sinkplaat soos sy voorste strut los breek.
Nee ernstig nou, myne het dit ook gedoen toe is dit die excaliber wat ek gebuig het wat effens los was, maar jyt joune mos afgehaal? Hoop nie dis enjin mounts of gearbox mounts nie!

Also check the door hinges. I had a similar knock knock and the driver door hinge was slightly loose. Other than that, check cab mountings, shock mountings, and the other stuff already mentioned...

Re: Knock knock sound under the cab
Also had a similar problem, turns out to be the rockslider mounts hitting the cab at the passengers side.

If it's not your mother in-law, check your gearbox and fuel tank mounts

Re: Knock knock sound under the cab
Hi all
Ja na byna 2100 km is ek redelik oortuig die klap geluid was maar my aftermarket front bumper wat die voorste modderskerm geraak het,voordat ek hier weg is het ek 'n stukkie rubber tussen die bullbar en die modderskerm gefit en ons het nogal slegte paaie gery tussen Garies en Namakwa sands en met 'n mooi stil kajuit.
Baie dankie vir alle insette,ek glo ek het die knock gehit
Tot later
Cheers

Re: Knock knock sound under the cab
I had the same problem with mine this past weekend and after a thorough inspection, I saw that the Diesel filter hang loose and knocked on the Inner Wheel arch when I either turned fast or went over a bump. I used cable ties to strap it down because the one side of the filter actually broke out... Check it out, it might be something small that will save you money and hours of frustration...
