I've been noticing a constant knocking noise while I drive - especially at lower speeds. I've checked my suspension and underneath the car and I can't see any obvious problem.

It sounds as though it's directly under the driver seat and I can 'feel' it on the steering wheel.

Can anyone help?

go to youtube forward slash watch?v=Rfq2F2dKx00 for a video of the noise

Droplink, steering rack/pinion?

Potentially. Is there any way to know for me to check? I'm not hugely mechanically minded!

Grab it and shake it. if the nuts securing it to the hub/leg show excess movement move, they will both need swapping.

Hold the drop link and get someone to rock the car, you should be able to feel the knock.
