Knocking noise

[Scimitar1976]

Hi all,
I seem to have a knocking noise when I go over a bump on the nearside front wheel, it sounds like Phil Collins tapping a cow bell. At first I thought it was a wheel nut come off and tapping on the inside of the wheel trim, it's that sort of tinny sound. I've not had a chance to take the wheel off and check for loose shock absorber cover or something like that. Though I don't think that would give this sound. tapping an empty tin would give the same sound. Anyone had this before.

Check the front damper rubbers aren't worn, and more specifically that the splitpin in the lower mount is fitted in the correct hole. (Splitpin should be horizontal, not vertical).

Thanks, will check that as soon as weather permits.
