hi, hopefully someone can help me. my car has started making a rumbling/ knocking sound from the front drivers side and the handling feels very weird. (sort of tries goin str8 when ur goin round a corner fast :laugh:.) I checked 2day and the wheel bearings gone so this should solve that problem, but what is the other noise??? i was thinking shocker as it bottoms out when u go over speed bumps (at very low speeds). But some of my mates said it could be a CV joint?? :huh: All this in a week because of all the fcukin potholes on our roads. :angry: Mr Prescott your an arse. Spend my 200 quid a year roadtax money sortin our roads out, not on fcukin PIES!!!!!!!!!!. Any help would be much appreciated everyone. thnx

CV joint is a relatively easy one to diagnose. Drive the car on a full right lock and then a full left lock, if it's gone you'll have a lovely knocking noise coming from the knackered one. If it's trying to go in a straight line, I would try the anti-roll bar bushes as the ARB will be useless when trying to corner.
The wheel bearing doesn't help either, so once you've got that sorted then have a gander at everything else.
