Issue at the front end of my car, tonight driving round a roundabout felt like my front was sliding.
Reversing to the right I'm getting a knocking from the front left wheel.... Any ideas?  s:-( :-( s:-(

Road conditions tonight round your way?
Is this the first time it has done it?

Tyres grip and pressures ok?
Any kerb strikes or bad potholes recently? Thinking alignment possibly.

Worth covering the basics before looking at bigger stuff.

Roads are wet but it's happened before whilst dry tyre/pressures ok, had matt do my alignment abit ago so that should be ok ...
Don't want it be anything big this side of Xmas lol!
It's the knock that's bothering me abit  s:-( :-( s:-(

I would be tempted to say top mounts
there's a few posts on here though where people have a knocking when reversing and turning

Have you had the car lowered or the springs replaced recently?

Do you know if the center top nuts were replaced as if they weren't they have tendency to undo themselves. Would be worth checking either way
