Peugeot 306 suspension knocking

I've got a 306 dturbo with a knocking noise coming from the n/s front wheel area. Usually i just turn up the radio and drive faster, but the noise is starting to get to me now.... Any ideas as to what it might be? It seems to knock most on bumpy roads, round corners, etc, however, it does not affect the handling, or at least not to a noticeable effect, and is not the drive shaft knocking as i've checked them out. It has been suggested that it is the front anti-roll bar drop link?



Any help would be appreciated as this knocking noise could potentially turn into a substantial problem, with bank balance / life threatening consequences.

it could be a bottom ball joint, it could be a worn shock absorber, it may be a bush somewhere, but either way you should have it checked rather than turn the radio up louder, thats just crazy, if it is a ball joint then you might not notice it afecting the handling etc until it pops out and puts you in a ditch upside down. steve. oxford

Im about 100% sure its your droplink from what you say is happening. You are in no danger of anything falling off even though it sounds bad. the droplink will be round 10er and you can fit it yourself in 5 mins. it bolts into the lug on your shock on one end and onto the anti-roll bar on the other end. 306?s go through these all the time so get good at fitting them
