noise from wheel arch ( drivers side )

Post by cubensis »

So where just driving home after a 500 mile round trip and have had to pull over, there is a knocking noise that increases its tempo with acceleration, the noise can only be heard when I actually press the accelerator, I was rolling down a hill and the noise didn't happen until I pressed the accelerator. It comes from the driver's side wheel arch or maybe just behind there and its pretty loud, any ideas?

hi,

try posting in the technical help section - i'm sure someone will be along to help. my guess would be worn ball joint or perhaps something catching?
