strange knocking??

Post by danny_boy »

hello people i was wondering if you could help.
sometimes when im slowing down an and get 2 low speed ther is a sorta knocking noise coming from the front wheel area. this doesnt happen very often, ive noticed it about 3 times altogether.

Hi,

I have had a few noises like this, mine was the pedal box which shakes under the foot but also made a noise which sounded like it was from front wheel? no idea why and the other was the cat had become lose from rubber straps.

May be worth a check at least.

Sometimes the brake shoes move about and make a sound that doesn't sound like you'd think it would, if you just cover the brake, see if it goes away. My Moms car does this a lot. The shock absorbers also knock when they are knackered, and this would when you select a lower gear, loading up the front suspension.
