Loud Single Knock

Coming down to my parking spot at work, I have to go down 2 levels braking at the same time, and sharply turn to the right.
Fully turning to right, going down hill, I get this single loud knock.
It seems to me coming from right side suspension.
While knock is single and loud, also I feel release from brake paddle.
And straight after the knock, I heard a kinda compressor noise.

Whatâ€™s the problem guys?

Worn rubber strut top would be my guess.

Compressor noise could be the shock absorber that mounts in there.
I've got the same knock & thats what mine is... until I get down to the shop & put my pillow mounts in...

I have booked the car in for Pedders 28 point suspension check on Saturday morning.
Lets see what will come out of it.

I get the same thing all the time.
Was going to book mine in with Wilki Suspension over here for a look see.

Pedders should charge you between $60 and $70 a side for the standard strut tops (not fitted) if that is what it is. A got my strut tops from Pedders down here in Canberra and that is what they charged me.
