Here is just one example check for the Alfa Romeo GTV (1996 - Present):

What to look for
As you drive the car over rough surfaces or bumps (e.g. speed bumps) listen for a knocking noise coming from the suspension. Also inspect the inside and outside edge of the tyres for excessive wear in comparison to the middle of the tyre.

What it means (if you find this fault)
A knocking noise from the suspension usually indicates that a rear suspension arm bush needs replacing. This will lead to premature tyre wear. If left, this can also damage the rear sub frame.

What to do (your options)
Have an expert inspect the car. Budget £200 - £700 for suspension arms or £1,200 for a new rear sub frame.
