Title: A bit of a knock on front drivers side?
Post by: micky on 07 April 2010, 20:34:46

Hi guys, when driving over a poor road surface ( of which theres plenty near me!) I`ve started to get a bit of a knocking noise which I think sounds like its coming from the suspension on the front drivers side...........are there any bushes that are likely to be the cause? If so are they replaceable, or would it be a complete unit change? Ta!

...or wishbones?  Hows your inside edge wearing on the front tyres?

Hi, tyre wear looks pretty even to me.........no noise at all on a good surface just when its a bit bumpy!!!
