(on second thought, it would probably be a thud and not a knock) but on a serious note, from the front? possibly Drop links, or P Bushes, CV joint... ________________________________________ Ex-Black 6 - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...

As oecken said could be anything really - jack up the front and give everything a good hard wobble. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project.

I'd say wishbone buses tbh, is it a kind of rotational "knock" or just a couple of random "clunks"? ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid
