I have this knocking under driver side of my x5 , it sounds like something has come lose,but I have sent the car to the garage but they can't find anything wrong, it sounds like a item is knocking when going over a little bump, can anyone help please

By bump do you mean a speed hump in the road?

I am not sure of what is positioned under the drivers seat area but I would start with and check the exhaust rubber mountings on the system to see if play or worn and enough movement to knock against the bodywork underneath.

If it's not that then it would be logical to check the suspension front and rear for play or knocks

However I assume the garage would have done this

Hi

I am still puzzled what it could be and came across this. It's not really under drivers seat but logically it's likely to be something that is moving and the front camber bushes seem worth checking

Chances are that it was fine before some ham-fisted mech got in there and disturbed everything whilst dining the bushes!
