Anyone know what this could be? Happens at least every time I drive. If I go over a bump or a dip there is a weird like knocking sound coming from the front suspension/wheel area. Also when I turn to the right and drive over a bump it does it sometimes as well.

Not too loud, but definitely noticeable.. Anyone else hear or experience it? Know what it could be?

If your car has been checked and verified working correctly then this info would be relevant to you.

Had it in my old FN2, so I can vouch for it.

I have the same thing, but not nearly as frequently.

1800 miles, it has happened maybe a dozen times. It's coming from the same area you're mentioning.

Does yours change with speed? Mine seems to be a low speed only thing.

Thank you. Interesting video. I haven't had it checked out yet tho...

Yes, definitely only really happens at lower speeds..

Dunno about u gents, but I had some sort of knocking sound at first, and eventually I was driving through my work parking lot and something loudly clunked and I felt something fall out. Here it was a large, hand sized orange piece of thick plastic with rolled edges. I immediately thought, 'this looks like a larger version of those orange safeties you find in a brand new printer to keep the head from moving during shipment'. I took it to a dealer and sure enough, it was a special spring separator that kept the car from bouncing too much while on the truck during transport. They were not removed during delivery, and so they fell out. I'll post a picture of it tomorrow when I can get my proper phone cable.
