Hey there people,

I have brought a 2001 ka in red, great little car but just concerned about a one thing on it,

it sounds simple and i think i know the fix but i would love to get other people advice if thats ok?

basically when i'm driving it and go over bumps the suspension knocks a bit, nothing to bad, i think the brushes need replacing but I'm not sure?

i also need to get the wheels balanced properly, apart from that its great, so if anyone could kinda let me know what they think i would be grateful :)
