Engine: T5: - v70 T5 something knocking

wise old monkey · Dec 8th, 2019, 15:08

when i pull away or reverse i get a knock, when i brake when reversing i get a knock, at speed the car seems to float like loose steering and there is a real bad vibration through the steering and front wheels.
everything checked and everything is tight, no play in any engine mounts, lower arms and gearbox mount are polybushed.
took the car to the mot garage and put it on the shaker, nothing to be found.
has anyone had this problem before.

just about everything on the front end has been replaced over the last two years, except the engine mounts
