Knocking noise from front drivers side suspension?

Post by alpenweiss2 »

In the last few weeks I have noticed a slight knocking noise from the front suspension on the drivers side? It is only really noticable on rough roads or when driving on a gravel track. It is a noticable knocking noise? I know the suspension arms can fail. Is it a DIY job to change parts over? I am quite handy with the spanners. What is the best way to check for a faulty component? I suppose it could be an ARB bush, balljoint or a worn arm causing the noise? Any advise?

We are living in rural France, so getting garage work done here is tricky and not cheap!
