Right okay,
ive had a knocking coming from the rear of the car for a while now when i go over bumps and such.. and my friend (who has the focus st) has had the same sound so he took his in to get get looked at and it turned out to be suspension issues think one of the shocks had failed. is it likely that this could be the same for my car?
does anyone know if this is a common fiesta/ford issue?! also had uneven tyre wear on the inside of my car could this be related or is it more likely tracking or another seperate problem!? the car feels unstable around 70 on the motorway

Also i have noticed my car bites really high on the clutch is this normal in fiesta sts becuase i had a brand new zetec climate before i got the st and it bit about halfway up the clutch travel. it just makes it awkward to drive at slow speeds and feels really awkward.

would appreciate the advise as i know theres some pretty knowledgeable people on here

cheers guys!

get it booked it in asasp, does it pull to one side, loosen you hands on steering wheel and see, tell garage everthing, may or may not be related to the knocking. Talking of which, had a look in my boot and the key thingy that holds the wheel in place was well loose, so tightened up.
