noise on front end

Post by Andy T »

hi everyone my wife and i have had our corsa b auto over 5 years(more the wife's than mine, my motor is being restored using corsa to go to work and that) on a p plate real good motor always passes mot had some issues with emission's last 2 years but get it thru every time.
the prob i have at moment is when going over speed bumps there is a clunking noise and can feel it through the floor.
its not a loud noise just annoying , replaced struts and springs (from a corsa b deisel) fit new ball joints, pads,discs front hose's.
bought new springs to replace old one's when i removed springs the strut was buggered no resistance when pushing down on shocker so i have a pair of brand new springs for sale or swap, i need a drivers door (5-door) dark mettalic grey
cheers andy

Have you checked everything is tight or checked your cv joint as they knock when dry or bust
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

everything is tight checked it all , cv boot's not split so i would assume they still have grease in them, they have original clip's on securing them.
when it make's the noise i can feel it through the floor it makes sense what you say thinking about it, i was thinking of going down the gearbox mounting route ,to be honest open to suggestions
cheers
