Need to book it in!

I'll need to give my dealer a call tomorrow and book in the Bravo

I am getting a knocking sound from the front passenger side wheel area and suspect that something like the anti-roll bar, drop-link or bushes may have gone.

I get the knock on rough or bumpy parts of the road but only really when going pretty slow. When up at 30mph or 40mph it seems to go. It isn't constant either. I've been deliberatly driving over bumps and sunken parts of the road but only every now and again it goes

At first I thought that it might have been the rear parcel shelf that was loose as it sounded like a parcel shelf bump/rattle but since driving about with the shelf out I've 99.9% certainly pin-pointed it to the wheel.

Sounds a lot like a drop link. Ours went a few months ago. Its a quick easy job. If it is though ask them nicely to do both sides

What surprises me is that, if it is the drop-link or anything else for that matter along similar lines, it's gone after 8 months

Re: Need to book it in!

I was surprised aswell. There was a recall on the early ones for something drop link related. I wonder if they still have the problem?
