   Yesterday me and my friend replaced my droplinks with some good ones cause the rubbers were perished on them.
   
   I had a knocking when turning left and i thought i need these doing anyway, So we`ll see if its them.
   
   Unfortunately my car still has a knocking when turning left. Its strange, if i go round the corner quicker it doesnt do it, If i take the left turn slowly, it really rattles. Sounds like its coming from drivers side, I dont know whether its me but its almost like i can feel it under my feet or through the wheel, Cant be sure !
   
   What would be your next attack ? Driveshafts or something you rekon ?... There doesnt seem to be any split in the balljoints on the wishbones, Could it still be them?.
   
   EDIT: to save making a new thread, i have this thing where if i tap my accelerator quickly, i can make my car rev slightly up then it starts to bounce on the revs, and will bounce low to a point where it cuts out. On odd occasions it does this when waiting at lights too. Any ideas, Cheers.

   Jack the car up and give everything a good pull/push to check for play.

   Sounds like the ICV needs a good clean. Take it off, get a rag and soak it in petrol, and give it a good seeing to. That should sort the problem right out. Failing that check your spark plugs are not covered in carbon, if so, get them changed.
