What would cause there to be a knocking over bumps on the front left side of my T4? Also when you rock the steering side to side you can hear it. I'm guessing it'll be a top mount something or other. Easy to fix? Expensive?

The ARB bushes on the front and a right pain to change, just hope its your drop links. Gary

I had similar thing and it was drop links. Thought it was going to be worse than it turned out (nice again....eh?)
