Hi chaps,
Since I got my current saloon, it's always had a faint knocking noise coming from the front suspension when going over bumps, or rough pieces of road. I had the anti-roll bar drop links replaced a while back, and that didn't seem to cure it. I asked my mechanic to take a look at it before the MoT the other day and he couldn't find any play in the suspension, so was a bit stumped on what it could be. I know these have a complicated setup on the front, with lots of arms, wondering if there is a common bush/linkage or something that could be the culprit. It's getting louder now and it drives me mad when going down bumpy roads lol, sounds so disconcerting! I didn't have this on my last B7 which had much higher mileage than my current one, so I know something's not quite right.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
