A Class
2008 A170 Avantgarde

My wife has a lovely 2008 A Clas A170 which we love.

About 4 weeks ago we started to hear a knocking/clunking noise from the front left wheel area when we went over a speed bum and or hle in the road.

We are not speed freaks and consider ourselves to be sensible drivers and only go over speed bumps at 10mph, so not fast !

Our local garage has replaced a number of parts, drop links and anti roll bar, and checked the shocks and springs. Nothing is loose and yet they have no idea why the noise occurs despite changing the above parts.

Its not a sqweak its a knock/clunk noise and it just dosnt sound right to me or my wife.

My first post to this group hoping somebody can help before more money goes down the drain trying to sort this out.

Many Thanks

Simon

Do you also get this knocking sound when you reverse with the steering on full lock?
