What will happen if i continue to drive this week with a knocking banging noise?

coming from the ledt hand side of the engine, i think or near there. i am putting the car in to a garage on thursday but just wondering is it safe to drive aproximaely 12 miles a day? im guessing its the anti roll bar, wishbone, bush, bearing or something like this.|||If the noise is a knock, knock, knock noise then its probably a problem with the drive shaft. If the problem has only started then a 12 mile should be fine.


Ja.|||never could you be sure but it make more sense not to drive it any more than you have to thinking that at any time now the front end break and what ever way the car goes will not be the way you wish it too...... so no dont drive it any at all|||No one can tell you for sure what will happen until the cause of the noise is identified. If I were you, I will not take the chance. Consider safety also, as you have no idea exactly what causes the noise. The car may be even unsafe to be driven.|||At least you are acting on the noise





some people just turn the music up louder !!





Could be lots of things.... I would look under the bonnet and underneath just if you can see something obvious !





Dont want your engine dropping out





If you had a make and model... maybe a common fault could be shared with you ?





dont really want a bottom ball joint popping out and you loose your steering and hurt someone|||Hi





It sounds as though you may have a broken drop link or a broken anti roll bar support bracket or bush.





People do tend to drive as though nothing is wrong when they encounter these problems and never seem to have any problems, mainly due to the fact that they don't really have that much effect on the handling, but then theres a first time for everything.





If on the off chance its a wishbone bush or balljoint then you are best advised not to drive the car until it is rectified or you could end up losing a wheel.





It does, however, sound like a drop link or anti roll bar bush or bracket gone awry. I am not going to advise you that it is safe to drive the car because that would be unprofessional and unethical, but like I said, people do tend to get away with driving cars with these problems present, and as I also said, theres a first time for everything.





Very best regards





Geordie|||I would not drive he vehicle if I were you it might cause more damage and will coast you more.
