My car has started making a strange noise from what sounds like the front left.

It only really does it at around 40mph and sounds like something is knocking but more like a rubbing bumping noise at a rate of about 2 per second.

i have checked there is nothing actually loose or dangling or hitting anything and it has only started doing it since ive put new ball joints on as the old one that was on that side was almost falling apart.

Could the driveshaft make this noise? I have only ever heard a driveshaft make a clicking noise when turning.

Have you checked your tyres? You might have something stuck in one.....

Yeah i checked that although if there was something stuck in the tyre it would make the noise all the time and not just around 40ish.
