Slight knock/grinding noise (172)

[Rhino172]

ok so I've not had it long and I've just noticed a very quite but frequent knock/grinding noice...

Only noticed it happen when doing three specific manouvers...

pulling away from a standstill at normal pace not giving death as I know that makes rather a large disturbing banging sound

gently breaking and coming to a complete stop

and on full lock

could this be the "strut top knock" I've read so much about or something else?

any advice greatly recieved...

can't really tell to be honest...it's very quiet...can almost "feel" it if you know what I mean..

most likely its your strut tops ...... there's a cheap fix to try before you venture out in major bucks ....see fredyozzasport strut top fix for size of washers required and how to fix
