I have noticed recently that under braking i could hear a knocking/grinding noise coming from around the drivers side front wheel. i got underneath the car to have a look and i could see that the driveshaft has been rubbing against the chassis when i have been braking.

I had a quick look around and there does seem to be quite abit of play in the suspension strut but thats about it, can anyone advice as to what it could be? :confused:

any chance you could be a bit more specific...
it could be suspension, accidental damage, worn mounts, corrosion....

well its not accident damage and i dont think its corrosion although theres a chance. where would i look for corrosion. the mounts all look okay except i noticed the gearboxmount has been welded before so maybe this has worn.
what would i look to be checking on the suspension

thanks
