I’d be tempted to use something other than WD40 as it isn’t god for rubber bushings. Some sort of grease would be better but it won’t penetrate as well - maybe lithium.

Rather annoyingly my car has started knocking a little after changing my front pads and inner CV boot. It passed my MOT yesterday fine - and the garage aren’t allowed to loosen anything so i can’t think what it would be....

Check the bumper mounts as well.

I have a warm weather squeak that has appeared. That's currently driving me nuts. Every bump - eeeeek. So it's constant eeek eeek eeek eeeek ek eeeek. There's also the annoying wheel wobble when braking on some road surfaces. That's back.

I'd imagine there's something that's loose, worn or over tightened somewhere completely inaccessible that's at fault...

Fixed mine. Brake calliper bolts weren’t mega tight
