Bit of a vague description. Low down? High up? Left? Right? Can you feel it through the floor???

#7: Re: Knocking noise when not accelerating/braking Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 7:01 am ---- straight or cornering?
it the road flat?
#8: Re: Knocking noise when not accelerating/braking Author: ARRAN, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 7:05 am ---- flat road, mainly in a straight line when deaccelerating and braking

It only knocks at low speeds say 10mph, but anything over that it sounds more like a whining noise, kinda like a bearing.
