hi all was woundering if anyone could help iam getting a knocking noise on the front of my car i have looked all over the front end of my car i cannot see anything loose or broken the only thing i have not checked is the brake pads can theses or could theses come loose

this only happends when going over bumbs or pot holes i have even drove the car and slightly held the brake pedel on and noticed the knocked noise stoped soon as i release the pedel the noise is back again i thought i would ask hear before thinking about striping the brakes

any info would be great

did you check the top mounts

top mounts have been checked and look fine

Brakes don't knock, they squeal, hum, maybe rattle. Things to check are engine mountings, broken springs, suspension bushes, ARB droplinks, shock absorbers, loose wheelnuts. That'll keep you busy for a while.
