My saxo vtr has started a clunking noise from the engine bay when going over bumps in the road. It has a gaz coil over set up on the front, and i have only really noticed the noise after i bottomed out over a pot hole in an industrial estate that i couldnt see -.- (Its wound as low as they can go)

So i have a few things i think it might be. I was maybe thinking one of my tops of the struts has worked its way loose? Then my gf's dad reckons its one of the lower ball joints have had it? But Its hard to describe the sound, it kinda sounds like metal hitting metal? Anybody had a similar problem as im not sure what to check atm?

Thanks

could be worn droplinks, wishbones best jack it up and have a look.

Where the wish bone bolt on to the body ? not the under floor bit. The leg that sticks out. tbh just double check every bolt.
