Some of you might of seen my previous post about some knocking noises coming from the corsa.
Done a bit of investigating and also had the mechanic at work look round it and we cant get to the bottom of it.
It only knocks when I turn right and then knocks when I steering back to go straight again. I took the passenger coilover out tonight to see if the top mount or the spring was knackerd but all seems to be in good condition. I put it back in, went for a drive and it was worse than before! Drove it for about half an hour, got off the motorway and the noise had gone. Parked up for 20mins, drove off and the clunking is back again!
This is seriously driving me mad now! Has anyone else had problems with FK coilovers or similar thing happen to them?
All help is really appriciated!

Theres no obvious marks on the drive shaft to suggest its knocking or anything. Hub nuts etc are all done up tight

You sure it's not just the exhaust bumping against the rear beam? Really common on Corsas and can often sound like a rear suspension problem from the drivers seat.
All you need to do is replace the rubbers as with age they can stretch. May be worth having a quick look here...
