   When im driving Ive noticed a knocking noise from the wheel, at first it sounded as if something was stuck in it and hitting the floor. Was nothing there when i checked.
   No spring or damper damage as ive had a snapped spring, doesnt look like its anything to do with the arch liners.
   Only thing I can think of is the driveshafts or wheel bearings, and I dont know how to tell if there on there way out of nackered... any advice?

   could be a wheel bearing....to check it give each of the wheel a good shake back and forwards, and you will hear the knocking more clearly that way.

   Gonna get it off the floor tomorrow and check everything,
   Asked a mate about it, he said it could be a CV Joint or Driveshaft problem.
