iv just had knocking on my front driver side wheel appear witch happens when hittig bumps and turning left hard. started last night after taking directions form a woman at the last second, slaming the brake turning hard and a bang i felt in the steering wheel. made the corner at least. found the proble myself (not yet fixed) my arb connection (plastic) had snaped at the swing arm end. really easy to get to with the wheel off and held on with 2 16mm bolts and it only costs £12 to replace even from seat dealer, i was shocked. fingers crossed that will fix it. ill let you know if i remember.

update:
lower arms made the knocking noise quieter but then it got worse again! angry, and fustrated, I went and bought:
2x new shocks
2x top mounts
2x ARB bushes
and guess what.. after replacing all that, car is now no longer knocking what so ever over bumps!!
great success! (wallet is kinda empty now though)

****. I may get checking tomorrow! Cheers mate, I don't want my wheel coming off and its been getting worse too!
Right! Mate you are a saviour, and I mean you actually may have saved my life!
Went out and checked the bolts, and on both wheels, 3 out of 5 bolts weren't even f**king hand tight! By that I mean I could actually stick my fingers in and wobble the bolts around!! And the two remaining required at least a full 360 turn of the wrench to be anywhere near tight, then a good bit of dancing up and down on it to get it sensible. Shocked isn't even the word mate, my heart was in my mouth. Took it for a spin there and problem completely solved! ****ing cowboys!

It's not really there responcibility, its yours.
Perhaps make this one of your weekly checks
saves a "you picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel" moment, lol
hmmm.
Had a service. Came back making a knocking noise. I'm not a mechanic so took it back to the one who did the service. They found nothing. I took it to another two garages and they found nothing. I'm still not a mechanic so not sure how I'd have realised something they didn't.
