Exclamation front wheel knocking noise

I have another problem that you guys might be able to help with, recently i have been getting a knocking sound coming from the front right wheel, im not stupid, its not the wheel bearing and not the wheel itslef!

what happens is when i go over rough ground i get a knocking sound like something is loose, i looked a few times and cant find anything.

could this be a suspension problem? the bushes or something?

someone help me and tell me what to buy that would be great its annoying the hell out of me. cheers

Re: front wheel knocking noise

either worn top mount, or worn ball joint on the suspension arm. both parts are around £30 in parts to replace. the worn ball joint means replacing the whole arm, which is a bit more work than the top mount.

you should also replace suspension parts in pairs
