This is strange, i get an intermittent knocking noise somewhere from the front O/S when turning right, I've had a good look underneath and can't see anything loose. very strange. V8S if that makes nay differance.
I've had a trawl through the old posts, but can't find anything.

Anyone got any ideas?

Dunno, worn ARB mount or drop link, worn wishbone bushes, worn ball joint, worn track rod end etc?

Hmm, it all looks ok, looks like a trip to Austec may be in order.

Thanks

I had something like this once - it turned out to be the mudgard which had worked loose and also the rubber that runs along the top edge had come unstuck and was rubbing the tyre when turning right. Might be worth checking the screws that hold the mudgard in place before parting with cash...?

Ahh, that sounds possible, I'll have a look as soon as the rain stops.

Thanks
