My 97 1.9 TD Xantia is making a knocking sound at the front - particularly on bumpy roads. Are there any common faults that I should be looking for?
Thanks

Track rod end worn. Possibly anti roll bar bushes knacked. DaveK.

drop links that connect antiroll bar to front struts, bottom ball joint usually goes, try to lever it apart with a bit of wood under the wishbone and you'll probably see loads of movement. £15 each from GSF

On my sadly departed XM I could get a knocking sound from virtually no play in the drop links. I bought a set from a local spares shop and they knocked from new. The play in the new drop links was less than 1mm. I got my money back and had a set fitted for me by a local specialist, almost as cheaply as buying them and fitting them myself.
