Tried to work out why it sounds like something is loose on the front end when I drive up our lane, all looks alright under there though :?

I'll have to get under it again and give it a proper coat of looking at Mate. Didn't seem to be anything loose there when I jacked it up, but I was in a rush :?

I usually use the age old testing techniques of grabbing the tyre while on the ground and trying to pull it off with shaking motion :D usually hear any knocking or see the movement in the wheel :wink: N

I've got same but heard I'd can be strut crown bearing slackening off which is probably right for mine as they were as rough as when I had them out. Only hear it on rough ground when going through quarries or the back of the yard etc.

I replaced the strut top bearing and cup thing on my van, not required though tbh, I think the steering would be rough or notchy if it was that bad, also when the load is on it probably wouldn't clonk, you'd need to jump I think :lol:

But jack front up and feel for roughness when manually steering the the road wheel.

Although I still doubt you'd feel much unless it was fubar.

Arb are common and drop links and wb bushes.

You might need to hit a sleeping policeman at 65 to find the culpret though :shock: :lol:
