Knocking Sound

[sydking]

ive noticed over the last couple days a knocking sound that seems to be coming from the front left side,

the other week i hit that front left Tyre on the gutter and replaced it with a new one, wasn't a hard hit just ripped the side wall, when putting on the new tire i found that one of the studs was stripped so i took it to the mechanic and got all new studs,

the clunking sound i can really hear when im just rolling along and as i speed up the sound speed up until i cant hear it over the exhaust anymore.

going to take it to the mechanic again but what could be causing this, its a R33 gts-4 series 2 all stock except for the exhaust.

The quicker i drive the quicker the sound gets as well. its consistent with the wheel spin it seems.

Wheel bearing?

Top control arm bushes are stuffed. They knock when they are flogged out. The control arms slide on the bolt making the knocking noise. Hence the reason why it does it more over bumps. Mechanical dude will find it when checking suspension.
