Ctyjet Member 72 Member For: 13y 5d Posted 20/01/15 06:21 AM Share Posted 20/01/15 06:21 AM Noticed today my left front wheel has started knocking when I hit bumps, took a look and the shock is leaking just wondering is It just the shock or could it be something else. Iv also noticed a slight whine when turning right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been told it had something to do with a front chassis member being made of aluminium & the bolts come loose??? Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a clunking metal sound? And also when changing from smooth roads to brick paved roads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctyjet Member 72 Member For: 13y 5d Posted 21/01/15 04:56 AM Author Share Posted 21/01/15 04:56 AM Does it with or without someone in the seat, its louder if say im coming out of a drive way slowly but on the freeway doing 100 you can barely hear it I can just feel a slight vibration through the pedal and a hear it slightly every now and again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
