Front end knocking
 
:confused:can anyone shed any light on the knocking that appears from the front end of the zs 180, the knocking does not seem to be from the brakes or suspension, as when i apply pressure to the brake pedal at low speed the
knocking still continues. so has anybody any ideas please help.

is it a constant knocking until you stop or does it stop before you do??

Well there's not really much around the front it could be really... Other than brakes (which you say it's not) the options i have are suspension or steering joints.
