Post by: james01uk on November 06, 2005, 11:18:04 AM
when i pull away or brake i get a knock from the osf wheel area
think it may be a bush
does anyone know if there is anything in particular it could be

thanks for any help you can give

also just got my car re sprayed and was very happy with it £600 pounds. if anyone in the surrey/kent area needs a dust over just let me know.

Could well be a bush - Jack up the corner of the car (MAKE SURE IT\'S VERY STABLE!) and grab the wheel from the left and right and pull and push it.  Also try the top and bottom of the wheel.  If it is a bush then you will feel excess play in the wheel.

Thats how i sussed mine anyway  :)

yeah just done the rears but was told the front ones are not likely to be worn that bad
but will check later today

guess it must be a bush. i thought it may be cause my brake pads are worn or something but doubt that would cause it now

It could be a few things - When I test drove mine I told the guy there was a knocking, he phoned me up later to say he had replaced one of the suspension arms! (which did begger all!  :rollin  )
