Re: Weird knocking noise......

Ok cheers. Have checked wheel bearings and cv joints seem fine too. I'll check the engine mounts then. Do i need to take it to a garage for that or can it be done easily?Thanks :)

Re: Knocking noise when hitting 80-90 mph???

It feels as if its more from the centre to the passenger side. Ive had the drive shafts checked for security etc though and they seem fine so i don't know what it could be. It will drive fine and then out of nowhere will just start shaking when its about 80-90 mph. Can't be right can it? Thanks :)
