G'day

only recently has this problem begun, but when i come to a stop when driving, and i then accelerate, only sometimes ill get a single knock from the front right hand wheel (maybe the left hand aswell however i dont do much riding in the car)

Its annoying because you have to come to a complete stop it seems, Its only a single knock, it occurs while your moving, and it doesnt seem to affect the performance of the car (i thought it may be the brakes hanging up but that doesnt make much sense.)

Any idea what it could be? I dont think its the CV as there is no noise while turning.

thanks :D

i dont know if this helps but in camrys it is "normal" for the front brakes to knock when moving off forward after going in reverse, this is just the front brake pads lightly draging on the disks and shifting back and forth in the calipers.

Suspension bushes; either swaybar or control arms.
