I am getting knocking through the pedals when I steer!!! anyone else have had this? pissing me off, hope it's not the pump. You can't feel the knocking through the steering wheel though?

Any idea's

Thanks guys,

Ash

hiya mate, i had this problem reacently and it was due to one of the bushes on the front passenger suspention arm, once i got that fixed it stopped but it cost quite alot to get fixed because its easier and probably cheaper to get a whole new suspention arm. im not saying go get one straight away but it might be a good idea to let someone have a look or something. have you hit a kurb or something quite hardly recently or anything?

No nothing it was fine friday, then get in it on sat and there it was at the pedals. can't feel it through the steering wheel though. very strange.

when i had a knocking it was only one i could hear?!? and that was because of a shot engine mount!?!?

Nope wasn't that, it was the universal Joints within the steering column!

just get ur balljoints an bushens checked out, its probaly summit really odd that u wudnt think would make that noise.

Your telling me! lol least WD40 fixed it for the time being

mine happened not long before i sold it, i explained it to the guy and he said he'd sort it so i never had to fiddle with it, just put up with it for a short while!
