Hello, has anyone experienced a slight knocking noise from passenger wheel area, ive had wheel fully checked, drop links, ball joint etc, but everythings fine, i feel its from the strut top but not sure, could it be, bonnet hinge?, any help would be appreciated... looking to purchase another mk I special edition vrs and also wondering if this is a common fault, thanks in advance

It's usually the drop links. Are you sure they are OK? How did you check them?
