noticed the knocking on friday while pulling slowly into my bumpy drive! so while i highered the coilovers on sunday i tryed to see the issue but couldnt notice anything wrong.

Basically when i drive about 10mph on a bumpy road i can hear a knocking going on at the front.( dunk dunk clunk dunk) and i can feel the vibration of the knock in the steering wheel ever so slightly but i can physically hear the knocking slightly! This has only just started so when driving at 30mph the knock is totally undetectable. Any one ever had this issue? my coilovers are new so theres no issues there. could it be an easy fix? track ends? or ball joint? anti roll bar ends? Argh im useless!!

Thanks!!

Hi,

I have had this, check the arb bushings and links. the links can bend out of shape ever so slightly

problem solved. ended up been the hard surround of the primary air filter tapping the arch under the bonnet when going slow over bumps... When i grabbed the wheel and ragged on it i could hear the knock... but couldnt find nothing wrong under the car every bush is tip top condition.. oh well sorted now! dohhh lol :))
