Single Knock When Moving Off - gearbox/DMF

(1/3) > >>

Lyons:
Over the last few days my car has developed a knock when moving off from stationary. It doesn't happen every time, and is just a single knock. It's coming from the front. I don't believe it to be the steering as its when the car is straight, and jiggling the wheel doesn't induce it.

Any ideas as to what it may be?!

Redemption:
Sub-Frame perhaps? Fairly common issue that can be solved by fitting these:-

Lyons:
Thanks. I read about it but it seems to occur on lock too?

I suppose for the £ it would be safer to fit them anyway.

Redemption:
That's a cheap option to start with. Chasing down knocks can quickly become an expensive ball-ache.

Lucas017:
I think I may have the same issue.

Does it appear to be louder some days than others?
