Hi,
I have a feeling my front shock(s) are on their way out/gone out! Getting quite a lot of knocking when driving, especially on the drivers side. I cant replicate the noise from 'bouncing' on the car from above, its obnly when movement come from beneath e.g. it was very noticable recently when I had to park my car in a field and as i drove over the bumpy ground it was a very definated rumbling noise. I can feel it through the steering column too.
I would be grateful if anybody could point out some possible problems this may be? My father seems to think it may be a shock problem, if so, does anybody know a ball part figure of what I should expect to pay for replacement shocks (standard does not sporty or anything)?
I have taken the car to a specialist but ironically I couldnt get the car to replicate the noise again, although it is slowly getting worse - most noticable turning right at slower speeds where the ground is bumpy.
Thanks
Miles
