wen i go on a bumpy road there is a knocking noise coming from it , and now wen i just drive normaly u can here a slight knocking every time the wheel goes round??? any sugestions

My first place to check would be the anti roll bar links, one went on my astra and it made a hell of a noise.

Could also be something like zorst mountin adrift too Daft i know but check wheelnuts too
(ya never know, some eeejeets do sillything to cars nowadays):o

had it jacked up and the zorst was hanging by 1 mount and the anti roll bar link had well to much play on the nearside so i fixed the zorst and doin roll bar 2moz :)

I thought the same on my astra, sounded very bad. If i were you i'd change both sides cos sods law states that the other side will go the same way if it looks old.

I wouldn't have thought it'd affect tyre wear, more likely your tracking needs doing:)
