When I am going over a speed bump I can hear like a knocking/clunking sound. Sounds like it's coming from the right side of the car. I had my car in for new breaks recently and he replaced the anti roll bar which was also causing a knocking sound but from a different place. He mentioned that the suspension bush was worn and needed replacing before next mot. It wasn't making the noise at the time just started yesterday. If it's worn could it be the suspension bush that's making that noise? Are there other things that could be causing it and is it ok to drive?

It is VERY likely that the bush mentioned is what is now causing the noise.

Although, I would question whether it was actually the roll bar that was causing a noise, as they don't really do that, most likely, you have misheard what they said and it was also a bush that they replaced.
Think he said it was the link bar actually. Dont knoe if thats the same thing. I'll check the invoice when I get home. The knocking stopped so whatever he replaced was the cause of the noise. This noise is something different

Still haven't had chance to have it checked out. It was doing it for several days like a clunking sound over a bump and also sometimes a creaking sound. Weird thing is it suddenly stopped making the noise a few days and and hasn't been doing it since. Should I be concerned?

Is it dangerous to drive?
