Front suspension knock (not under braking)
Hi all,
I've got a knock from the front drivers wheel when I go over a speed bump or a bump in the road. I've tried the sudden braking but that doesn't cause any knocking sound. Am I looking at arms or more likely ARB bushes causing the problem? I also get a knocking from the same wheel when under load and a large lock. So could this be ARB/arm related or have I got a knackered CV joint too?
It might be unrelated but it doesn't feel quite as 'pointy' as it used to be, almost as if there is some play in the steering somewhere. Might just be my imagination though!
Any suggestions?

Will - Did you get to the bottom of this? I have the same issue on my MY2013 front offside.
Noticable rumbing when going over railway crossing up the road, speedbumps or going down our byway.
Dropped it off to the dealers this morning hoping it's covered under extended warranty but they warned me it might not be so would be great to know what it is and whether paying their eyewatering costs will be justified.

Knocking
Could be any number of things, needs properly diagnosing before throwing money at parts, but also worth a mention as it's another popular item for us, inner rack ends.
