Title: knocking type noise. front top mount?
Post by: mcgee9t2 on 20 January 2012, 08:38

Driving to work yesterday i could hear a faint knocking noise when turning to the right.
today it is considerably louder and you can feel it. its also started when i take foot off accelerator. has to be sometging to do with wheel/suspension/axle cause even when not in gear and rolling slowly it does it.
at first i thought puncture but theres no puncture. any ideas?
