	i had this after i changed my suspention too. ive change engine mounts, lower arm balljoints, track rod ends, and bushes! it went away 4 a while but has recently come back.:( mine doesnt always do it when i pull off or brake. but does do it on a bumpy road. any ideas any one? could the driveshafts cause a knock while turning or over bumps? this is all ive got left to change!!!!:lol:

	sounds like bushes engine mount cv joint and ive heard the gearbox on some c's can go

	could be that the brake pads aint seated properly, or the caliper sliders are fooked,

	if it does it when you brake make sure youve got your calliper bolts in tight

	if it does it once when u pull away then id hazard a guess at a drive shaft? they clunk when they "take up". worth considering

	heres what it could be chris my mate with a brand new clio got this when he fitted some new rims and eventually renault replaced his whole suspension because they couldn't find out what it was! anyway his car is a renault so i wouldn't worry
Adam-D	posted on 20th Aug 04 at 09:55
	could be suspension? lower arm, cv joint or engine mount or the exhaust
chris_uk	posted on 20th Aug 04 at 09:53

Rileysport	posted on 20th Aug 04 at 09:51
	sounds like a bush or sumthing

	when i pull away the car makes a knocking noise.. just one 'knock' its coming from the front of the car sounds like the drivers side. ive just recently lowered the car -40mm and its only just started doing it. just wondered if it was anything to do with the new springs or anything.. when i brake it also knocks.. but just the once. :boggle:
