nock under the hood.

I have a 92 RS LO3. I just started noticing a nock or something bouncing around under the passinger side of the hood when I hit verry small bumps or sometimes when I decelerate. My dad said it might be the heat rizer in the exhaust manifold clanking around. Anyone else have any ideas about what it is or what to do?
Havent had any time to look at it yet. Thanks

Evan

no, but I really don't think it is that. my steering is fine and it is just a slight sound but loud enough to be really anoying.

To add on to what 88tbi4x4 is saying is the shock mounts have a strut bearing that goes around the top of your strut. If the bearing is bad it wont effect you steering but that little bit of movement between the bearing and strut could be your sound.
