My wife hit a fairly heafty pothole in her A2 last week. Prior to it there were no knocks or thuds. Now, when driving on uneven roads the car makes a heavy thud/thump. The noise is dull and comes from the front of the car. It does not seem to be side specific.
The steering feels fine and sharp. Braking and accelerating do not cause the thud. It just occurs after driving over other potholes.
I have removed the undertray and had a good crawl around and waggle with a wrecking bar. The front wheel joints all feel OK as does the transmission mount and the exhaust is firmly held. The anti roll bar mounts also seem good. The left hand engine mount allows for up and down movement, which I think is normal. When revving the engine the block does move.
Has anybody had engine mounts fail or can advise on other things to check.
Many thanks in advance,
Beef
