    hi all,

    looking at buying a xsara picasso (private sale), took it for a test drive today and was aware of a knocking coming from around the rear right wheel when taking off and cornering. owner said that a citroen dealer had said that this was fairly common in picassos when heavily laden (4 adults), and nothing to worry about...

    any thoughts? cheers

    D

    is it likely to be something that an NCT would pick up?

    Hiya - knocking from rear left or right when cornering can be sign of worn suspension bushes. Having a set in good repair are essential for NCT. I failed on exactly that in 06. The parts themselves are fairly cheap (about 30-40 euro) but it was at least an hours labour for my car (a megane). I would definitely check it checked though.
    Cheers,

    Just kiddin, like what Memorex said, if its just during cornering its most likley a suspension bushing
