matty_gti 20 Posted April 28, 2006 hmmm, getting a little worried , when turning (steering) a while a go out of a corner i heard this rolling knock coming from the front pass side, it was only faint as i didnt know what it was. so i carried on and it did it agin today, so i speeded up and then it became faster and louder to until it silently diapeard. This only happens once or twice a week if that considering i do about 40 miles a day?. Any ideas?...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
