    Dreaded suspension knocking

    What would cause there to be a knocking over bumps on the front left side of my T4?

    Also when you rock the steering side to side you can hear it.

    I'm guessing it'll be a top mount something or other.

    Easy to fix? Expensive?

    Did you know the EU says that you can't claim that drinking water prevents dehydration. So now you know for sure what many of have known for years that the EU is run by a bunch of nutters.
