Hiya people, over the last couple of weeks ive noticed a knocking sound from the near side front of the vehicle, but only when I do a right turn. Obviously the weight is shifting to the left when you turn right and that is when the noise happens. I guessing it maybe an anti-roll bar bush or something but Id be very surprised if it is as Ive only had it 6months!

Anyon else had this?

peace

Just an update chaps... took my ST in to get looked at. Midday came and me phone rings, chap tells me my cars sorted and ready to be picked up. I ask what the problem was and he says there isnt one. I say there is blahblah blah. He tried baffling me with some technical information and i then explained to him that im a mechanic so dont f**king try that!!! He went quiet so I then explained the whole thing again and even gave him some advice to follow to diagnose where thenoise is coming from!!! lol

anyway, made no differance, went to pick it up and they was saying that they cant here any noises (they must be deaf as a pensioner could easily here it!!) so i basically commented on how poor i think the garage is and that when i have time i will be back and will take a senior technicain out for a drive so he can hear it.

amen
