| Yeah have you got spiggot rings fitted to ya alloys, without these holding the wheel tight to the hub the wheel is likely to flex, have you notice any uneven tyre wear

i have tryed dipping the clutch at speed but the noise still persists ! wondering if it could be drive shaft bent on n/s? as changed the shafts on o/s along with cv's. subframe being out of line or bent shouldnt cause knocking noise at speed i wouldn't of thought ,I will have it checked out anyway .
Thanks for all your sugestions guys | |

| i have seen this a couple of tomes before but turned out to be simple things like loose subframe bolts, wishbone bushes, tracking, even seen it happen with strut top worn | |
