Hi folks, hope you can shed some light on usual culprits please... if there are any:
My motor, a 51 plate S60 D5 has at least 2 really annoying knocks:
The first *sounds like* it is somewhere underneath the engine or by the suspension on the drivers side front... having had two mechanics get it up on their ramps and take a look they cannot locate an obvious bush that has gone near the o/s/f wheel - they've checked all the bushes in the lower arm / wishbone (recently changed - knock still there!!

) and those bushes in the drop link and track rod end - all look ok.. the top suspension mount bushes look ok on both sides too.... it's not a huge-milk-bottles-banging-together type knock but and it seems to be more prevalent when going down a normal road over small and regular bumps in the road, it's not like it only happens when you go over potholes.
There is another one at the n/s/r which is very similar. The car had an almost identical one when I bought it and I had both rear suspension struts changed and it stopped. As I only had these done in Feb'08 I'd screw if it was the same problem again!! Surely not?!!?!
Does anyone have any clues? Perhaps these are regular faults on these cars?
Cheers Guys for any help.
