[glow=red] Its hard to say when it is doing the knocking. On uneven road surfaces, cornering, most of the time.

I know its not that great a disciption - sorry guys!

Hi all as some of you know i recently rebuilt the whole suspension on the cally, ref the front a complete refurb of all components..after running the car for a period of around 300 miles i had a knocking on the front reappear (drivers side)..So today i went back over the whole front set up and rechecked everything every nut bolt etc..nothing seemed out of order untl i looked at the bolts for the wishbones to the subframe they had play in them..i decided to re-torque these to spec and re-run the car but the knock remained.. so back on the ramps and i replaced the said bolts with new ones and set to required torque... problem now solved..
