Impact one expects to have? (4)
I believe the answer is:
bump
'impact' is the definition.
(bump is a kind of impact)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
(Other definitions for bump that I've seen before include "Light blow or jolting collision" , "Impact injury" , "Swelling caused by a blow perhaps" , "Lump caused by a blow" , "Jolt - collision - swelling" .)
