Hi, I've booked my Pat into the dealers as there is a knocking noise coming from my front suspension when I go over speed humps and any uneven surface.
It had only done 2k miles when I first noticed it, and it pulls to the left slightly when I brake.
Has anybody experienced the same problem or does anybody know what the problem could be?
It sounds like something is loose !
Cheers
Chris

No nothing yet, but I only have 2900 miles on mine and I have it for 7 months.

Yeah, mine turned 3k today which is low for problems to occur in the suspension.
It almost sounds like a creaking noise

that could be many things but you have done definitely a good decision by taking your Pat to the dealer

On the Jeep Liberty, the front sway bar was the culprit. Make sure the bolts are torqued to spec AND grease the "rubber/poly" that the Sway bar passes thru where it attaches to the body. many Liberty Owners ended up drilling thru the metal/poly and inserting a grease zerk. Also check the torque specs of the strut bolts on the top of the struts.
