Bottom ball joints often go on Corsas/Novas, just check them, you dont need to run out and buy a new set unless they are in sh'te condition.
Nova ones are £30 each, Corsa ones will be similar.

After wot happened to brads car i have changed the trackrod ends and bottom ball joints just incase, if i didnt have 19's i prob wouldnt have changed them. for the sake of £100 max say saves £0000's if anything was to go.

they are about £9 from motor factors, about £25 from vauxhall, or £12 for vaux ones from autovaux.
