knocking type noise. front top mount?
« 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?
