Hiya,
First of all I know there's a lot of discussions/threads/blogs regarding this issue, but I was hoping that maybe I could get some model specific advice as I've had enough!
So I have a Grande Punto 1.3 Multijet and for the last few months it has made a slight knocking/squeaking noise when going over speed bumps or potholes. Recently however this has gotten a lot worse and now happens even over the smallest bumps. It sounds as if it's coming from the front right, but I've jacked the car up and basically just pulled at everything (on both sides) and can't find anything loose or that might be knocking when I drive. I have replaced the sway bar links but that hasn't made a difference and I can't find anything loose in the cabin, under the bonnet, etc.
I've noticed that once the car's been jacked up, the noise will go away the next time I drive it but then eventually comes back, presumably as the suspension settles again?
Sorry for the long post, just hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this to save me replacing anything else unnecessarily! I don't know a huge amount about cars so any suggestions are welcome
Thanks!
