first post so evening all.

As the title says i feel a very slight knock through the wheel when going over minor bumps, more noticeable at A road/motorway speeds.There is no audible noise and there is nothing felt when going over speed bumps at slower speeds. It feels almost as if its the steering column itself.There is zero steering wheel wobble, it tracks perfectly straight and maybe they all do it but anyone get anything similar? I recently reduced tyre air levels to softest recommended amount and it made a big difference,but only to the frequency of the knock and not the 'feel' of it. The car has done 47000 and ive had it since 38000 and its always done it. It handles and drives perfic and i could prob live with it but I KNOW ITS THERE !!

Best to have all the front suspension and steering checked over. Consul bushes at rear of wishbone, drop links, springs, dampers, ARB bushes, steering rack security, bottom ball joints, track rod ends.

Thanks for the quick reply !

should have added that i had it looked over thoroughly yesterday and the only thing the mech could find was very slight movement in the ' bottom suspension' bushes that he demonstrated by by rocking the front wheels back and forward showing the strut flexing forward and backwards. Are these the console bushes you are referring to? He did say that they were designed to flex somewhat but that you can buy uprated ones that lock everything solid. I should also add that i can feel the knocking when cruising and only lightly holding the steering wheel but if i hold the wheel firmly with both hands (as we were taught at the 10 to 2 position !!) it virtually disappears.

Sounds like early wear signs of rear bush for wishbone (consul bush). Skoda have (after 8 years) made an improved bush, or you can have the Cupra solid bushes fitted, but they do increase vibration slightly.
