Strange knock sound (to the body?)

[Lyngeled]

Hi
I've started using my S2 again after 1½ years, and one time on each suddenly there comes knocking sound (as if something hits the body), and only once. First time it came it was after ½ an hour, and I thought it was a stick being slung up at the body. I think it's different to an exhaust "pop", and my only idea now is an worn UV-joint, but that does not make sense either.

Cheers

If the knock happens when you power on then power off, it might be a worn driveshaft UJ.

But I hear strange noises all the time, especially turning slowly on full lock. I think it is part of 50 year old technology and 50 year old parts. Modern cars are so much quieter.

I was driving along near RAF Marham near where I live, and I heard a very strange noise. I wound down the driver's side window and it was an RAF Typhoon. You don't hear that noise, you feel it !

Also many potholes in the road make bangs when you hit them, as the suspension is stiff and you are so low.
