Yes it does tend to act a bit like a shopping trolley, and it is a definate metal. to metal clonk. Thankyou lads for your valualble input.

Metal to metal?

When my lower arms were completely shot, I could accelerate on the motorway and the car would veer to the central reservation, and when I come off the accelerator the car would pull to the left. It was a tricky job keeping it in a straight line. But even that bad it didn't sound like metal to metal.

Get yourself under your car and have a scout about. Check the bushes on the lower arms to see if they've split, or even disintergrated. Check you anti-roll bar to make sure the bushes on these are ok aswell!

Also, jack the car up and do the test to see if a wheel bearing has gone. Do you get any whining noises to accompany the knocking?
