clonking noise

I did have pics, can\'t find them. No biggie just look under the car - it\'s at the very front most part of your bodywork where the tie bar brackets mount.
3 bolts on each bracket (bracked is in a U shape) with the tie bar going through the middle with a nut on the end.
No more Corsa :(

hiya i have a clonking noise and a whinning noise and my mechanic has said that the whinning noise is a ball bearing in my clutch which makes a noise all the time especially louder when first starting off and the clonking noise is comin from my passenger side and is said to be the cv joint.

It\'s the way of everything in this world m8

You go thru periods of paying money and then stages where you don\'t

as cars get older more bits are worn etc

mines currently in for new wheel bearings

not good weeks before going in body shop for a make over!
