Problem, anyone any ideas?

[Sie!]

hi everyone,

Just had my '85 Audi 80 for it's MOT, passed first time, which is brilliant, but so do have a problem.

Around three months ago I noticed something strange on my suspension, I noticed what felt like a little clunk/notch type feeling when I braked heavily or set off quickly. Then I went down the motoway and had to shift rather quickly to let an emergency vehicle past, my wheels are usually rock steady and I have never had steerig wheel shake when going fast. But when I hit about 85 I felt some serious vibration, and heard a rather worrying knocking sound. As soon as I was out the way I slowed back to 70 and everything was as still as ever.

Things have progressivly gotten worse, and I still have the clunky feeling, but now you can feel it almost eveytime I set off or brake. Even if I roll my car out of the drive without starting the engine you can feel it. It appears to be whenever the car changes direction slightly. I presume this and the speed thing are connected, as both started around the same time.

I would have thought the MOT would have flagged the problem up, but all they said was that they found slight play in both tie-rod ends.

Well I've had them changed today and the problem still persists. Does anyone have any ideas? Any one ever had this before?

It's really annoying, and seems to be getting worse and worse, and it needs fixing ASAP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - and sorry about the long essay!
