    Could be the lower suspension arm bushes or balljoint all come complete as one new arm and retail

    to fit yourself around £ 80 each arm for a good quality one,buying cheap ones do not pay as balljoint rubbers and bushes go after short time.

    Should also check its not the front suspension strut going as this will knock also and is most common.

    Unfortunately both problems don't become clear until the strut springs are released from the hub
