Nearside front knocking

Hi all

Since i have had the car i have had a nearside front knock when i go over un-even ground/train crossing/cobbled roads. It sounds like a normal fault that points towards upper arms, arb link etc.. but for love or money i cant find the knock. I have had it at a local garage twice that ive used for years and they cant find it either. They also confirm that there is a knock and im not going mad, so just opening it to you guys to see if you have had a similar experience.

Cheers
Simon

nothing jumps out to me.

To be honest a few people have said bushes, but its too hard to tell. The noise is definitely metal to metal.

It doesnt sound like an engine mount if you know what i mean, i could have put money down on it being an upper arm, but its definitely not. Its going to a local VW/Audi specialist next thursday so im hoping they can find it as its driving me mad.

So did you ever find it?

. The car drives so smoothly as well, it's just this that's annoying the hell out of me!

Well the car has been at an audi specialist today and even though they can hear the knocking they couldnt find anything on inspection. Great!!

Cheers goose, may wait till Xmas is over and change them.

Mines there when there is less load on that wheel.
