It seems that one of mine L322 front strut have some internal problems due to the noise it makes as hiting road imperfections.

most noises at the front are caused by drop links or ball joints - check those first.

Some months ago I've replaced all the suspension arms, ball joints and sway bar links. The noise appears to be from the suspension strut its like a discharged or faulty shock. On the anual inspection (your MOT) wich where in December, the technician (correct name?) told me that he found nothing wrong.

in the picture above the big metal circular part is the stop for the upper part of the yellow bump stop. the other parts are only concerned with keeping the air in the bag so nothing in the picture will cause a noise you can hear.
