Nearside Suspension knock

[merlyman2009]

Hi, My 1.4 tdci just developed a clunk on n/s front.
Only happens on rough road, pot hole (if there were a series of bumps, knocks would be in time to this). Not had chance to look with weather today and just wanted to check if there is a common known problem to MK7......Spring? ball joint?, anything known to break or loosen?... checked obvious wheel nuts and no different feel through brake pedal, steering fine, arch gaps same visually...
Any advise to point me in direction to check appreciated.....Tnx...

My wifes mk6 had same sort of noise. No obvious sign of anything.Was a broken spring in the end.Would check that 1st.

yep, mine broken spring too, not easy to spot bout 4" broke of end, appeared fine when you look at main spring or shake it.
Done now..Thnx.

I have a mk7 with a knocking noise when going around left corners, it has been found out to be the wishbone by my mot station so it is getting fixed this Friday hope this helps
