Bad sound from front suspension

When I drive I get a knocking sound from the front whenever the car goes over continuous bumps on the road, and the noise is irritating. Anyone know what it might be? Had the noise ever since I bought the car.

I actually lifted the ban on him after re-consideration.

bob....do NOT post anymore pyramid schemes, get rich quick offers or chain letters. Enjoy the forum. Good luck fixing your suspension.

he posted the pyramid scheme thing and while I was in the process of banning him (as a one post spammer) I saw the suspension question so MAYBE he's really here for car stuff as well. We'll see.

Awww man, I was really hoping someone was gonna help this dude out too, cuz I got the exact same problem going on with my P5. Every time I took it somewhere to get checked out no one would ever see anything wrong, so I just keep driving listening to little clunking going on after every bump.

I had a sound coming from my ride but it really wasnt the bumps, that made it go, but the actually weight load from front to back.

anyways it turned out to be a link to the sway bar on the right side that had gone, probably because my strut on that side was shot.

More stress, = Break parts lol

got it fixed,

but still havent done anything about my struts, still looking fora good deal

i would go with the proven Tein coilovers if you're going to spend that much.
