Have you checked the large nuts that hold the front strut cartridges inside the strut leg? If these are not down tight against the cartridge, then the cartridge can move around inside the strut making a knocking noise.... Its quite loud, you'd definately notice it. A reputable steering specialist once left mine loose after doing some work on my suspension, took a while to figure out what was wrong.

thanks for the reply Phil, i can only assume that when i say "check everything" these so called professionals did just that "check everything"

I intend on jacking the car up on the weekend and giving "everything i can think of" a look at.

I intend on checking,

struts: rubbers/nuts&bolts
coil/spring: make sure its seating/seated properly.
control arms: rubbers/cracks

If anybody else can suggested area's i should check please do?

Cheers Phil

Steve
