Ok whenever i go over a bump/uneven bit of road i hear a knockin/ratlle thid noise from the front.
it sounds as if its comin from the shock area would it be a track rod end, or a ball joint or cv joint.
I dont think it is a cv joint lo since there is no knocking goin round corners if u no what i mean

cheers for any help!

Ball Joint: Jack the car up so the suspect wheel is off the floor.

Hold the wheel at 12 & 6 and if it wobbles then its the ball joint.
