    ive got a knocking sound coming from my car. it happens when im on a rough road. motorways its perfect no noises whatsoever. i have taken it to two garages to have a look but they have found nothing wrong.
    maybe some one would know what i could be. maybe its something common. hope to here a reply. thanks

    I had the control arm ball joints wear on mine which gave a knocking noise over rough surfaces.
    Can be tricky to see/feel any play in the bj if vehicle is jacked up.
    How many miles does your car have and when were thw control arms last replaced?

    I had the very same problem and it was as mentioned above - the control arms. Can't quite remember how much they were? Around £30 each? No doubt someone will be along soon to confirm...

    Had more than half mine away before so I bought the kit to replace them all. Think it was only £220.

    Prices vary but it is advisable to buy quality parts as the cheaper ones have been known to fail again in a matter of months.
    Lemfoerder/meyle & febi are good brands to go for.
