There is a single loud click from front end of my P11 when braking and accelerating back. (Feels like its coming from the driver side wheel or directly under the drivers feet) It also happens sometimes when hitting a pot hole. I've been trying to isolate this to the source for some time and haven't been successful. Any leads will be appreciated. Also I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with brakes since a full overhaul was done recently.

Does it do it on full lock too ? If so could be a CV joint . Does it happen going over speed bumps or potholes as well ? ------------- |

Not happening on full lock. Definitely not CV joints. But ya sometimes it happens on potholes.

Start with the simple things. See if wheel nuts are tight, then the centre nut. Then work around with other components. May be a simple thing. ------------- It's not what you drive....It's how you drive! |

All the links were replaced. Shocks were replaced too. Only things that were not replaced are the coil springs and the rubber mounts on the strut tower. I think the springs have no life left in them and planning to go with coilovers soon. It's driving me nuts when moving in stop and go traffic

I've had the same ,it comes and goes.Mine is due to the top door minge being worn.What happens is when you brake/accel the body flexes and hence the noise. ------------- |

That sound very much like the same problem I had. Turned out to be the top bearing on the top link/third link or whatever it's called, had been worn to pieces. Jack the car up and use a crowbar to see if there's any play there.. http://www.npoc.co.uk/forum/king-pin-center-link-replacement_topic3263.html |

| I was chasing a similar sounding problem for ages. It turned out to be the door jam, where the door latches onto that was slighly worn. If you hold the door closed while braking (slowly and safely of course) you can quickly see if this is the cause. |

I have looked at all suspension and brake parts so this sounds like a possibility How do I make sure it's coming from the door? How did you fix it?
