Knocking noise

24th May 2010, 16:15

Hi all, not long had my saxo, had to buy two new driveshafts as the CV joints were knackered, but since having it back, I've noticed that I get a really bad knocking/rattling noise coming from the front, possibly drivers side wheel, on any slight bump or undulation in the road.

From inside it sounds like a deep knocking, but from the outside sounds very much like a metallic noise, and after the initial knock, it rattles rather badly.

The car has been lowered, not sure how much, and running on 15" wheels.

Its really bad now but have no idea on what it could be, anyone got any ideas/suggestions?

Cheers

Never ending list of things it could be,
If it's lowered more than 40mm on std inserts then it could be the suspension that is knackered,
It could also be, drop links, top mount bearings, ball joints, wishbones, everything related to the front end basically, Saxo's always knock lol
