I have established the following: - It knocks and grinds and sounds like metal on metal. - It comes from the front right only. - It gets worse after the car heats up and have been driving for a while. - It's not the wheel bearing / hub assembly as I replaced this. - It didn't do it when I've left it with ford!I've looked under the car several times and can't seem to work out what it is. I have had a BF dump and a bigger cat fitted and the exhaust does sit very close to the chassis rail but if the exhaust was heating up and rubbing on the chassis rail I don't think this would explain the noises I'm experiencing! There is a small mark where it looks like it touched. Any ideas people? Engine mount? Cheers!

I had the rear of my exhaust modified and at the same time had the exhaust guy (Exhaust world on Newcastle St) have a look at the dump and how it sits close to the chassis rail. He ended up moving it over and I haven't heard the noise since. Get under there and see if your dump is close to the rail. Cheers.
