A friend has a car Peugeot Partner Diesel.
There is a knocking sound from driverside front wheel, over bumps in the road. My diagnosis a worn bush. I had 3 minutes look underneath with the wheel raised a bit - couldn't see anything especially obvious, I did notice the wishbone arm, but could not see any thing obviously wrong with those two bushes and the one on the wheel bracket looked ok too.
So are there any other bushes it could be or something else.
What's the best method of searching for it, without a garage hoist, i.e. on the road

If it sounds like a ball bearing being shaken in a tin it is most likely an anti-roll bar link. Trouble is it's almost impossible to diagnose on the car, and almost impossible to get off without cutting it off, so diagnosis is a bit difficult. However, in the absence of anything else, they are cheap to buy and easy to replace (just cut them off with an angle grinder!), and almost certainly the cause of the noise.

Is it illogical? It must be Citroen....

I was trying to think of the name of that bar earlier! I had one of those go on another car, it was a bush more than a link and the noise was similar. The noise is just a small knocking noise on every bump in the road, [i]knock.....knock....knock etc[/i i.e. it's not a rattle.
Is this "link" specific to this type of car? What does it do?
Thanks
