Hi guys
Have a bit of a weird one, couple of months ago while doing 70 on motorway, sounded as though something fell off so we stopped and checked and couldn't see anything. When we got back on motorway and under hard acceleration we heard a strange under car knocking noise - can't exactly describe where from. Have spoke to Justin at Newport and he thinks it could be some sort of sensor to do with switching to 4 wheel drive but still have no idea where to look or what to do????

We can reproduce it anytime when accelerating, but occasionally also get a strange vibration through the steering wheel when only doing low miles per hour.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?

Thanks
Andy
 






Could be a front axle CV joint.
