Hello,
My Clio has developed a knock/creak. It only happens at slow speeds and seems to be related to weight transfer. If I break somewhat heavily and then start rolling again it will occur, and the same if I do a 3 point turn/pull into the drive. If I jump on the sill of the car whilst someone has there head at the front it sounds like it is coming from the middle of the car, front axle, just tricky to diagnose for me as when it’s in the air you can’t replicate the noise.
I’ve checked the coilovers, control arms etc everything is tight and as expected. I am going to replace the ARB bushes as these are the only bushes on the car that have not been replaced, but whilst I’m ordering those parts, has anyone had this before or have any idea what it could be as it’s driving me mad.
Videos below - any input appreciated!
