help!! loud noise after kerb hit
hi gents, i had a low speed kerb hit (10mph) during the recent snow but since then i have a loud knocking/clicking noise when i step on the gas
i hit the passenger side front but the sound seems to come from the drivers front? any advice would be a great help. thankyou, mark.

Re: help!! loud noise after kerb hit
Could be a damaged cv joint - they make a clicking noise. Could also be a damaged wishbone. Id have the car up on axle stands / a jack and have a good look to see if there is any visible damage first.

Yep as Alex said check bottom arm, cv joints, also wheels, tracking, strut tower.
