Following a lil accident that I had since a month aprox, well hit a curb and damage the wishbone. I have replaced it and the ARB. But now, after 2 weeks driving I can hear the wheel knocking, and its geting worse everytime I drive. And on top I have the feeling that the steering is a bit lighter than before. I had a look at it and by elimination, Wishbone, ARB, track rod and ends looks ok, as well as the driveshaft. The knocks are not really when the wheel hit a pothole, so can not be the suspension. Just to be on the safe side Im not :drive: the car at the moment coz the steering is a bit shaky as well. Anyone got any idea wot might be wrong? Im guessin the HUB itself might need a change..

Did you replace the ball joint as well, or just the lower arm?

When do you hear the noise, all the time, only over bumps, only when cornering?

Is it a random single knock or a repeated knocking noise?
