    Clio 197/Early 200 top mount change

    So after working out what was wrong with my suspension and what was causing the knock, I found it to be the RH Top mount, but I'm going to be changing them both anyway for the sakes of it, is it a particularly hard job?

    Small Knock at low Speed

    Whenever I'm driving at a low speed, probably under 20mph I can hear a slight knocking from the front end of the car, Specifically the Front right I think? I can also sort of feel it in the accelerator pedal whenever it knocks, this likely to be suspension related or is there something else...
