Hi, a few weeks ago i heard a noise which i thought was comeing from my exhaust, it was like a slight vibration, I though it waas strange but never thought anything of it. Over the last few weeks though this noise has changed to a louder Knocking/Clunking noise which sounds like its comeing from the left wheel. The sounds only really occurs once i almost completly remove my foot off the accelerator, when im pulling away or braking the noise dissapears, It dosent even make the noise when i make a sharp turn to the left or right. The only other thing is a few weeks ago the metal band that holds the rubber over the cv joint of the passengers side driveshaft snapped and i have had to grease and replace the metal band. Does anybody have any ideas of what the noise could be ? Cheers

try your anti roll bar links mate, if it happens on country bouncy roads then this could be the problem
