strange knocking right wheel

Post by grassymango »

Hello recently been noticing a strange knocking noise coming from right wheel i think, the car is fine to drive but when i accelerate i can hear it slightly but really curious on what it is could it be the driveshaft maybe? The steering is fine on car and suspension seems okay thanks guys its a 206cc 2002 1.6

Worse on corners? Does noise increase with speed? Happen over bumps?
