Hi all,

getting really frustrated with this one...
Wifes Quashqai 1.5 on an 08 plate.

Single knock under relitively hard braking, sometimes on rough ground/small potholes, minor B roads etc will again give a single knock.

New front droplinks.

Does it under hard braking but will do it without touching brakes so dont think its pads moving etc.
Checked all caliper bolts anyway and all seems tight.

Gone through the suspension so many times and just can't find anything lose or worn. Besides which, any reasonable road it drives fine. Once its knocked it drives fine. Hard accelaration and braking will get the single knock back..

I can only come up with strut bearings..... but steering doesn't groan or feel particularly stiff at any speed.

Does anyone have any sugestions before I pull my remaining hair out ?

Thanks !
