   Hey, im new to all this and i have just bought myself a vts. Not alot has been done to it apart from lowered and pipercross induction kit. I am getting a strange Knocking from the front left suspension ( I think ). Anyone have any ideas on what this could be and how to fix?
   
   Also getting a suspicious knock when i release the clutch into 2nd gear. whether this could be drive shafts or the actual gearbox itself i dont know???
   
   Only had the car for 4 days!
   Car is driving me mad!! Thought I was ment to be driving the car like mad!!
   
   please help! cheers

   Is the first knocking you mentioned when slowing down or turning?

   could be a worn ball joint, you wont know properly if you dont take it to a garage or let someone have a look at it who knows what there on about.
