Hi all
Arriving at the car park where I work my car suddenly started producing an odd noise. It's a knocking sound which seems to be coming from somewhere below the drivers footwell (I can feel it vibrating slightly through my feet).
It's a regular rhythmic sound, and seems to make one 'clunk' per rotation of the front wheels, so when driving slowly it slows down, but when picking up speed it goes faster.
Also it's barely audible when driving in a straight line, but gets louder when turning corners - at least when turning right, haven't tried turning left (there are no left turns between the entrance of the car park (when it started) and parking space)!
When I parked up I had a peer underneath, and there's nothing obviously sticking out anywhere, but then again i have absolutely no mechanical knowledge anyway... so has anyone got any ideas what it might be?
I just got new alloys about 3 days ago if that makes any difference...?
Cheers
