    Front end knocking

    TBH that was my first thought and havn,t ruled it out, it does drive like its a bent alloy at low speeds but clears up with speed(over 35 MPH). Something is deffo out of balance or badly worn, and its a progressive fault started out as a small vibration and is now very noticeable at low speed...

    Front end knocking

    Thanks for the replys ill have a look at the wheel bearing nut first .Hopefully not the cv joints dont fancy changing them and there is no clicking when on full lock. still its done 103k so it could well be worn inner cv joints.######:doh: Thanks again
