Hi there,

You will have to try and narrow down the problem a bit. Dose it knock when braking only? When you hit a hump in the road? When you turn? Try and give me some clues to work with and I will be able to help.

It seems to do it when I step off the brake like when I am coming to a stop but it sometime does it too when I go straight but that usually happens after I have stopped completely I hope you can help me

Hi there,

you will need to inspect the brakes & front suspension for a fault, pay particular attention to the ball joints let me know how you get on.

Hi there,

Just to hard to judge with out seeing it. If just a knock & no steering wander as well, just keep the driving to a minimum. And take it easy. If at all in doubt leave it a home and stay safe.
