Subframe Bolts?

I think Mandy got told this for an troublesome click or knock happening under tight turns, and braking a while ago.

From what i recall, normally comes from the front passenger footwell area, and its just install some washers im sure.

Whether this is what yours does on a worse'r case..

Mine does this knock , but only after being very aggressive in driving style prior to this doing this knock.

If my description of where the noise comes from, properly worth a punt.

Any news from the OP on this fix, did it work?  I have what could be the exact same noise and its driving me crazy, been to the dealers 3 times now and off again to a different place tomorrow but if this could be a fix I may need to investigate, seems a small price to pay especially if it MIGHT work.

Has anyone else had this clunk and fixed it?
