My car (MT) has developed a loud knocking sound from the front drivers side, which gets faster at higher speeds. Does it most of the time but particularly bad when the engine is under load, either accelerating, going up even slight hills. Occurs whilst braking also. However - it goes away as soon as the clutch is pressed or gear put in neutral. I've checked over the brakes, wheel bearings and hubs, and the wheels are not buckled etc.
I've been told this may be a driveshaft fault, but any other opinions appreciated wink.gif
