About a year ago I bumped over a curb quite hard (my own fault:sad:) and snapped the suspension spring on the drivers side. Had that replaced as it started knocking when at slow speeds, like pulling onto / reversing off my drive.
Recently the knocking has started again. Similar noise, knocks once when turning the wheel round to full lock and then again when turning it back straight. It's just had an MOT and nothing was picked up on that. I would have thought if it was the spring again they would have noticed.
It also seems to pull to the left sometimes when accellerating hard which suggests that there may not be enough power getting to the right wheel. I've checked the CV boot and it seems to be fitted tight and there's no leakage.
Could it be I've also knacked the driveshaft when I've gone up the curb?
Car's a VTR Mk2 by the way.
