i'm getting a knock from the front, noticable at low speeds, it is speed not rev related as it is there when coasting. hard to describe just a gentle thun-thun-thun noise.
any ideas of what to check for first?

considering the handling issue I've had where it gets all out of shape at highspeed on coners, suddenly oversteering etc ARB seems a likely culprit. hope I can get it sorted by sunday.
Thrumming would make me look towards a cv joint, or the wheel bearing(s). Knocking, however, and scary handling on bends, is more likely to sound like a distinct knocking, which will be caused by knackered ball-joints(needing new wishbones) or by worn ARB bushes. Of all the above problems, you should pray its just ARB bushes, since those bad boys only cost about £2 each, and you'll probably need a set of 4.
