A bit of a knock on front drivers side?
« 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!

Mines occasionally been doing the same recently over poor surfaces and hard turns.... suspect droplinks too, so will be changing them shortly  :y
