knocking sound from the front.
fook!
Mine has started to make a knock from what sounds like the front!
I drive off and it bangs then nothing until I slow down or pull off really quick.
Ideas?

I'm going to state my normal "odd knock noise" suggestion.
Engine mount. Front or rear? Well that's for you to find out, but I suggest the rear.

Haynes suggests a worn CV boot or joint if it is a knocking at slow speeds.

Both ball joints are good, I checked when I replaced the wish bones. They also look ok.
Another rear odd thing is..... and it's going to scare me....
when I pull off it feels like the hand brake is on. It's like the car is being held then released. Evil force maybe?

1 week on......both strut bolts-loose,both sides.Top mounts-a little bit loose.Ball joint nuts/bolts to wishbone-very loose!!!!!!!Anti roll bar links-haklf a turn loose!Ball joints-okay funnily!!!!
I would check again mate.
Good Luck

It think it's an engine mount, however I couldn't undestand if it was the rear engine mount or the front right engine mount.
That noise makes me crazy afte 10 seconds in city with window opened...
Thanks
