i would appreciate any advice on this one.

Had my wedge on blocks for a week or so - restoring alloys.
did the job and all seemed fine.
then on first run i was aware of a knocking noise from what seems to be beneath the gear stick. It speeds up as i accelerate and decreases as i slow down. At first i though something was dragging underneath and bouncing up - but on close inspection i cannot see anything out of place and no small furry animals caught in the wheel arch.
The noise does seem to go away when I corner.
it sounds like it could be something rubbing - but what.........?!!!

it is driving me bonkers - what the hell could it be........??

best of the season to all

Check if stick on balance weights they maybe hitting front calipers?

Have you re checked wheel tightness?

Knackered cv joint or bolts come loose?

Could it be as simple as a kink in the speedo cable, maybe around where the block was??

This might not help but I changed my steels for alloys and when it was done I drove down the road and a knocking noise started which turned out to be a rear spring which was,nt seated correctly so I jacked it up and lowered it while guiding the spring and now all's fine!
Just a thought!.............

thanks all for advice - will work my way through and let you know how it goes.

happy new year all
