I just picked up my camaro z28 2002 with all stock parts. I've been driving it a little and I noticed a strange knocking noise coming from the front. Here's what I know...

1. when parked, no knocking. Even when I give it gas, everything's good.
2. when cruising off throttle, no knocking. Same as parked.
3. when driving, knocking noise increases with throttle.

It sounds like a lite knocking coming from the front only when I'm moving and I hit the gas. The more gas I give it, the louder it is. But when I'm stopped, everything's good? Does anyone have an idea what it could be???

^if it's only happening when your moving, maybe check your front wheels/brakes for anything loose? Just taking a shot in the dark....

get your internals check, something has to be loose.

run 89 or 91 octane if your gonna hammer down, perferably 91.
