Hi all.
Over the last couple of days I have noticed a knocking sound under my feet and a small vibration. It only does it when I'm going in a straight line and correct slightly to the right. It doesn't happen when I turn right or left or when I'm going straight. It is only when I correct my steering very slightly.
Due to go to Wales in a few days so need to find it.
Oh. I have had a look under the van and can see nothing loose or out of place.
Annoying knocking sound.

Re: Annoying knocking sound.
the knocking could either be the rear CV joints..
or
the front wheel bearings.
re-adjust the fronts and see if it goes

Re: Annoying knocking sound.
I know the symptoms aren't quite correct for this, but worth checking the drive shaft flange bolts, inners and outers, for looseness, as this is a common cause of knocking sounds (all be it from the rear).
