Hi all

Newbie here and a total novice about motors.
Can anyone explain what this is hanging off behind
my front wheel and making a knocking noise please?

It is the anti rollbar but the drop link has come off.

The bit with the ball goes into a bar which then goes to the top of the strut.

Many thanks for your quick reply loot.
What dose it do and Is it safe to drive to the garage about 30 miles?

It supports the body and limits body roll, as long as you take it easy on the chicanes you'll be ok :-)

Take it you've not driven a Sprinter recently? I honestly thought the one I drove recently had something wrong with it so relatively vague was the steering.
