Strange knocking noise from front of car??

[30121980]

Morning guys,

I am an early riser...Just got back from gym and getting papers. Theres a strange knocking noise coming from my front end of the car?
Car is steering ok as such.....any one got any ideas before i take it to garage.

If it does`nt stop I`ll be taking it to either malton or Red Line Racing because Newcastle Porsche are CACK as I have mentioned earlier.

Any clues before I start to worry!

Thanks as always

Whens it happening,

braking
cornering accelerating anything prompt it

is it from one side

[30121980]

Seems to be constant to be honest.....coming from front passenger side.

Should i be worried?

In any event its in need of inspecting for peace of mind,

Did it just start suddenly or have you pickd up on it before?

[30121980]

Participated on a spirited `Run out` yesterday. Prob`s be brought on by that.
Did`nt notice it last night, but when driving earlier this morning pretty easy to spot.

Better get it check out then.

Any one any idea of price to get put right?

Thanks again lads, you always come up trumps.

I WILL BE STAYING AWAY FROM AS I THINK THERE CACK

Its not going anywhere near opc newcastle! - there cack, would`nt go there to even get a sales brochure

Thanks again for your help and advice

Now trying to get out of shopping with our lass - i`ll give in to one pair of shoes and some thing from the sale..that`ll get her out of me hair for a good few hours.

what a cracking day....looks like that `yorkshire moors run out` is going to cost me a few smackers. I`ve found a lovely deep scratch on the passenger side door also.

when your lucks out, its out

thanks lads as always

Nothing apparently trapped in a wheel arch is there
'Pheasent' or the like

[ADDLED]

More likely to be a grouse, bit too early for pheasants...

Hello

Could be an anti roll bar drop link if you are lucky.....but chances are it will be a lower arm.....the arms are about £150 plus 20 mins fitting. It will be the arm that connects off the lower control arm with the ball joint it just bolts in with 2 18mm bolts..no set up is possible as its all on top of the strut.

What was it in the end?

[boony]

Stevie's back at work now so not sure when he'll be able to reply. Back home in 3 weeks when he's sure to get it fixed. I was on the same run out that day... low and behold, today I'm getting similar symptoms!

Must have been something to do with the road eh Stevie? Mine should be fixed before you're home so I'll let you know exactly what it was.

[rich 36]

christ, sorry I mentioned it now

its the roads up there, even there ard'
