Hi All, I have a 64 plate 2wd 1.7 manual K3 KIA Sportage. On the whole she is a really nice car.
She has just developed a knock on the LHF at it is relevant to road speed and not engine RPM or the gear I'm in (still knocks in neutral).
The knock doesn't seem to worsen/improve when I corner or brake.
I've got it booked in for investigation but has anyone had this before?? I am wondering if its a CV joint or driveshaft issue?
Aside from that, does everyone's KIA suffer clutch judder and has your experience of the KIA dealerships been that they never experience clutch judder when testing the car?
Thank you for any proper insights with common faults on suspension as I may tackle this through non-Kia route.
