Front end low knocking type noise on cornering.

Hi All,

I have started hearing a noise from the front of the car (Freelander 1 2002) not sure where its coming from but it souind like a low "de-de-de-de-de" type of noise you would expect as if its a warped disc rubbing on the pads.

The noise first appeared as i cornered, but now carries on when the car is running straight under acceleration, does eventually clear once straight for about 250 yards.

I have changed the anti roll bar bushes and all bushes on the front swing arms, noise still there.

I replaced the IRD about 14 months ago complete with the VC, and am dreading the start of the same.

has any body out their had a similar problem and what was the fix ?

Not changed the discs yet next job, but they look OK.

Thanks All

Keith
