    Cool Re: knocking from the front

    If its coming from the front Paul then this is probably the culprit..

    If its the rear then it could be rear bushes..have a look to see if their leaking oil..

    Well finished fitting new drop links last night,nuts were a real pain to remove sprayed for a couple o days but still would not shift, thought i had my anti-clockwise and clockwise mixed up so took advice,tried the mole grips and they just kept slippin ,so took drastic method in using a blow lamp (using a plumbers flame mat for protection) burnt out the nylon from the nut and removed real easy.Although i would simply recommend buying a good set of mole grips
    Bought drop links as a set from a company in east midlands Virgin auto parts phoned before 12 and had them next day and knocking has tottaly gone both on the turning and uneven roads ,one less job
