I HAVE A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF MY PEUGEOT 307. BUT THIS ONLY
HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS  I.E GETS WET. THE ONLY THING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT GETS
WET, IS THE ANTI ROLL BAR BUSHES. IT IS NOT THE BOTTOM BALL JOINTS, DOES ANY
ONE KNOW WHAT THE KNOCKING COULD BE, OR HAS ANY ELSE GOT THE SAME PROBLEM.
PLEASE HELP.

I would take it into your dealer - it sounds like something they will know
about and depending how old your car is they will fix it under warranty.

See ya,

Could be:

Anti-roll bar drop links (either side) cost about £35 on e-bay a pair and
take a bout 30 mins to fit.

Bottom suspension ball joints: dunno how much they cost as Peugeot replaced
them for me under warranty as well as the bottom suspension arms a few weeks
later (long story).

Top strut bearings.

It could also be reflected noise from the back of the car :-)

Of course if it only happens when you are cornering hard or at full lock
then it is the c.v. joints on the driveshafts. Rain doesn't matter to these
diagnoses but it could easily be the mounts that you have dismissed, most
likelely it is the drop links.

P.S. YOUR CAPS LOCK KEY APPEARS TO BE BROKEN, bad form as it is considered
shouting here.

Well, I don't know if that has solved the problem of the original poster,
but it has told me where the creaking noise I have on the front suspension
is coming from (I hope).
