Hi all have got what can best be described as a knock or crack noise that seems to come through the steering wheel. This noise is not there when turning or is does not  seem to appear going over certain road surfaces it just seems to happen at odd intervals but i cant say that its a definate  knock as it can also sound like a crack. Any ideas please Steve.

New drop links and wishbones fitted about three months ago so should be ok you would think. Any thing else i should look for ??

most problems on front suspension will come thru wheel-could simply be the plastic around the steering wheel loose but without seeing your car can only go by your description

at work today remembered one mig that mate had had problem like that -he took steering wheel off but knackered clip behind wheel-something to do with airbag. And after that now and again would get a crack sound.
