Default 2007 sport 3.0 tdi front end knock

Hello everyone, hope your all well

I have noticed a very slight knock on the front wheels when going over rough ground, it's not bad at the minute but not as it should be
Anyone got any ideas on what it could be, my garage has checked track rods etc and all seem fine
Would like it putting right before it gets worse
Small things like that drive me crackers ???

Thanks Andy

I had similar and replaced the four top suspension arms to clear.

Before I did it I got the local mechanic to put the car on the ramps and check, I would advise the same but your fault does sound very similar.

Not specific to D3 or any car for that matter it could be any of suspension arms, track rod ends or C links or none at all. I have seen a strain bolt left in plenum area rolling around and making similar sound as well.
