knocking/ clunking when pulling off and breaking
« on: October 04, 2012, 05:17:22 pm »
My car has developed a knocking noise when pulling away and then when i break too, or whenever there is a sudden shift in balance going forward and back. Its slowly becoming more noticeable so has anyone got ideas of what it could be as i need to get it sorted!

Could it be top mounts?
If it's not broke, Mod it.....
