BigTunaUK Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Hi, having a nightmare with a knocking noise coming from drivers side front. The knock happens when going over rough ground (but only when the car is not under load) when accelerator is depressed the knocking doesn't happen. It also happens under heavy braking. Car has just gone through Mot and asked the mechanic and he said nothing that was checked has wear of any kind that would cause this. Has anyone has similar issues or know what the issue could be. Worth mentioning that when braking it seems to be uneven you can feel the brakes letting off. thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So That would suggest to possible Drive shaft .? Jasonj Well I hate to point out that you would have to have the vehicle on a four poster ramp with the wheel off and a large pry bar to check if the bushes have gone soft or drop link travel, and if you could please explain why the topmount on this model fails, I await your empirical deliberations.
