Strange knocking noise when braking

[leighlo]

All,

I've tried searching, but couldn't find anything relevant really.

This morning, the front end of the car was making a knocking noise upon braking at low speeds. It doesn't seem to have affected the braking at all, but seems a bit of an odd noise? It's almost as though the car was making the noise as the front end was dipping under braking.

Any ideas, so I know if it's something I need checked out soonish?

Thanks,

knackered wishbone mounts?

Thanks

Update

I was driving the car back from work this evening and it appears the noise is there even when I'm not braking - sounds suspension related, so will get these checked out - expensive job?

Your going to have to get your head under and have a look around i would pay attention to the spring on the strut
