- This video is for all the VW Transporter fans out there. At some point, you will experience a knocking or thudding sound inside the cab. This video could be the fix. We have tried to keep it as close to a tutorial as possible, without stretching the video out too much.
Are there any other videos you would like to see, please leave a comment below.

Nice looking new bush, too easy to fit in relation to standard ones. One step I think you missed during reinstallation of the control arm. The standard bush and possibly the new style bush should not be tightened and torqued before jacking the control arm up to it's normally loaded position. Otherwise, when the vehicles is at normal rest height / position the bushes are pre-loaded or torqued, which leads to premature wear.
I have transporter t5.1 the best mod you can do is to fit led replacement light units to replace the candles VW supply. Makes the van look much better with nice DRLs and you can see for miles at night !
I had bushing issue 2yrs ago on my van and ended up getting them replaced. Nice video and well put together - look forward to see more of your van ones
Good vid & very satisfying to sort the bushing issue; I had mine done on my T6 but also worth doing the full kit which includes the antiroll bar bushes.
Thanks for this! Just bought a t5 and the front right is knocking like this, so gonna get in the air an check the bushes for movement 👍
Finally someone who knows his shit inside out. Cheers
With the front bush remaining in rubber it’s definitely not a good idea to tighten the bolts with the suspension hanging as that will cause the bushes to twist and wear prematurely.
Also noticed the wheel alignment wasn’t checked which is imperative when suspension components are removed let alone replaced.
Rather than Poly bushes if you use the T32 rear lower bush it’s the same fitment as all the other models but a solid rubber bush so offering a much nicer ride quality on road surfaces compared to a solid polyurethane bush
Cool. Video man. Thanks for the info 👍
Hi mate, you got a link to the bushes ? I’ve got same, lowered it just now on stance plus before spending more if needed later to see how it looked and handled, I’ve still got knocking but actually not as bad now since putting coilovers on, mines a t5 2.5tdi lwb van, but I’ve fitter t6 front and tailgate / lights, doing a camper conversion with it
Great video , I have a T5.1 and sometimes get a knock so this might be the reason but can you tell me do you notice any more vibration when driving?
Thanks Rob.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2005 T5 and was wondering if you or anyone has replaced the 5speed gearbox with a 6? Just thinking it would add to the fuel economy of the van.
As far as bushings go, I seem to get knocks starting just a few weeks before PSV, it uncanny the regularity and really annoying. I'm a joiner so i'm hauling a van full of tools and materials most of the time and the state of the roads are not heling either.
I would like to replace all the bushings with nylon and if possible the ones on top of the front suspension struts. Not sure if they're available in nylon.
Hi, just seen you video and did you get your rear bumper replaced with a diffuser on.
Top vid, u cud chrg 4 that tutorial!
have you got a link the The bushes you used ?
Would this throw the tracking out. My front tyre getting chewed 🥲
I got a 2012 T5 do get a odd knocking sound but also get when under accelerating I get a rattle sound like lose washer rattling
May be it is a lose washer but get worse .
The bush you fitted is made of polyurethane not rubber as you stated at 15:40 into the video.
Soz, I put the first comment up before you mentioned tyre wear🙈
Hi, does anyone have a video clip of their knocking sound and resolution. Not sure if this is the issue I am having. I own a t5.1 2011. Slight knock when go from 1st to 2nd and 3rd. Seems when I accelerate, clunk when foot taken off clutch. 🤔
Hi Gordon, did you get your issue sorted? I have the same issues as you described. Thanks
I’d be checking the wear on your offside driveshaft splines as these being worn can cause symptoms like you are experiencing
When go thru the effort of removing the wish bone, why not change the other bushing and ball joint also?
I did think of the same thing
Im sure using a torque wrench to do the degree's isn't good for the torque wrench
Are these checked on an MOT? Sure this is the noise we are getting under our T6
Yes the bushes get checked
Tap the brakes in the brake rollers will show the movement
Just watched this video, great to watch but the background music is so f----g annoying!!!!
