vauxhall zafira 1.8 knocking noise

[jenblun1984]

i have a vauxhall zafira with a knocking noise underneath at the front of the car but only when doing low speed going round corners or over bumps can anyone help

More than likely the noise is coming from worn 'drop links' or 'stabilisers' which are part of the front suspension linkage. Very common to wear, they are cheap enough to buy and quick to fit so long as you have the correct tools, naturally.

Yes drop links are the probably cause, fairly cheap to replace, do both sides, false economy not too.

Fitted to date this year: 7 sets of drop links (made of plasticene, I suspect), 2 bottom wishbones, 4 pairs of springs, 1 track rod end.
Thanks for the post back, and give us an update when you can.
