Default STFA w/ no luck: i get a knocking sound from under car clearly audible at low speeds <M>

my first guess is its the exhaust, but from the archives it seems like it could be the CV boot (which could have been damaged when my new suspension was installed - less than 1000 mi) or it could also be a bad strut or bad control arm... also - the sound is only audible after the car has been driven for sometime and seems to get more persistent. ANY help would be appreciated... thanks

Default Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?

If so it could be hitting a tranny mount as the exhaust expands from heating.
