hi everyone, i noticed a noise coming from under my driver side when i hit a bump or when i'm backing up and step on the brake. it sounded like a hammer tap (one tap) the bottom of the car. only on the driver side. know what could cause that noise?

Bloody hell it could be anything, i think though its likely the exhaust moving on its mounts, get under the car and give the exhaust a good shake you'll soon find out!! there could be a bush on the suspension also, but i would start with the exhaust first
