Default Front knocking sound

Hey guys,

I seemed to have developed a knocking sound coming from the front of the car, drivers side. Happens when I go over a bump (mainly when the wheel drops into a dip, rather than rising over a bump). I'm guessing its the wishbone or something around that area?

Probably just an anti roll bar link. What you also need to check is that your anti-roll bar bushes aren't perished too, as this will cause your links to wear out really fast.

Have you got coilovers by any chance? I occasionly get this, try the nut at the top of the strut in the engine bay. Make sure everything is nice and tight. Worth a try
