Knocking noise from front passenger wheel grrrr
« on: 27 March 2010, 04:01:06 »

Hi guys,

I have a problem. I have this knocking noise from my front wheel (mainly passenger side but also a little on drivers side) which is very noticable at low speeds (up to 40ish) and especially over bumps or pot holes.

It also feels that the car slides when doing this if im turning both from front end and back.

Actually thinking about it, it may be happening on the back passenger side wheel or im just imagining it because of the front.

I had the anti roll bar bushes replaced but it's still happening.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for all your help. Would the drop links wobble when moved if they were faulty? How could i tell?

Will get onto this in the morning.
