My Car has developed a nasty knocking noise.

Its coming from the front passenger side. It was happening now and again, quick a solid knock but now its almost constant, but not so "harsh"

obviously going to look asap, and not use the car untill its sorted. (which means this weekends RR day is out the window)

Anyone got any ideas what it could be?

About 2weeks ago i had FK coilies fitted and an FK front antiroll bar. I got the tracking and camber done the following day and it was all tracked etc OK.

Any ideas?

definately not too low for your ARB? Check driveshaft/arb clearance - and see if theres any shiny rub marks on either. Strange as its usually the drivers side that has problems first.

perhaps check cv boot/gaiter as well, just in case.

I had this noise at my first MOT, it was my n/s lower ball joint, maybe it was banged about when the coilovers were fitted.

Mine starter by doing it every now and again, and got quite constant, once changed, all quiet again (excluding creaks) !!!
