I just recently changed my clutch in my 2010 A3 1.6, for the first time ever. BUT now there seems to be an issue. Its pretty much random, but when I sometimes change gear I hear a knocking sound. This knocking sound also happens when I go over pot holes and turn into a road. It sounds like its coming from the passenger side. My guess it is the drive shaft. But I really don't know. I'm worried I haven't done something up tight. It happening more and more I drive, which is concerning.

Anyone had experience with this? A knocking sound from the front of the car. Sometimes the knocking/clicking noise happens repeatly a few times then stops (like when I go into full lock) Anyway I have my MOT next month, hopefully they can find it. Or I can fix it before then :/
 
Lower arm bush, could be a host of things tbh. Needs a look with it jacked up.

if it is a bush it’ll be picked up at mot.

Was the driveshaft a bolt on or tripodic push into a socket type, go check the shaft if you removed.
