Leaks & Noises
Hello.
I have a problem that is driving me crazy.
When driving over a rough road i get a knocking rattling noise under the car. Sounds like its coming from around the wheels.
It doesnt happen all the time and sometimes over a normal bump its fine.
The car also feels very hard over bumps.
This car 24k on the clock and has been serviced regular.
Hope someone can shed some light on this noise.
Thanx

Sounds like a suspension problem. I had a problem with similar symptoms on my focus. It was the drop links. You could check them yourself and see how much play are in them. If it is this you should be able to change them for less than £50.

PS
could be your wheel bearings too, you might want to get it checked.

Thankyou for the quick reply. Would this be covered under manufactute warrenty as it still under 3 yrs old. ?

I'm not sure, you'll have to check the details of your warranty. I can't see why it shouldn't as it is a mechanical failure within the time of the warranty. I'm sure Vauxhall warranty is 3 years or 60000 miles, whichever comes first. Like with many things nowadays there are so many loop holes for companies to get out of paying out. However stand your ground!!

Should be covered provided car has been serviced as per manufacturers schedule and is within mileage .
