suspect sound ....

any one experiencing a a rather worrying sound that comes from the front right just behind the dashboard..?

Its kind of like a settling knock and it happens every time i leave my house and go over the first speed bump down the road.. after that it doesn't happen until i drive the next day..

It could be from the suspension strut but sounds more like more like somewhere in the wall between the engine and interior..

i have done about 20,000 kms now and its only started happening in the last 2000 kms..

anyone else hearing this noise?

Yes. Same exactly.

I think the sounds comes through the strut brace which is mounted in the center below the Dash. I read hear in this forum that somebody here had a similar noise and found out that one of the screws in the suspension was loose a bit and after tightening it, the sound was gone.

I have the same noise, but I have isolated it to when I have the A/C on and it is warm out. My car is in service now working on it so when I hear what my cause was I'll let you know.
