I have constant issues with this corsa c.whats happening now is when I accelerate and take foot of pedal and accelerate again I get a knock noise only one loud knock. I have fitted new drive shaft on passenger side new inner tie rods and tie rod ends also new drop links
Now it's pulling violently to left and right when going just over 50mph I did notice a wishbone that looks like it's very worn check it out never seen one this bad
Looks like you need a pair of lower arms.
They are not very expensive. Found a pair with 2 years warranty delivered for £16 in the summer on ebay.
They normally creak a lot when they are this bad. Not as noticable in the wet though.
The only time I've seen this was at a scrap yard on a car that drove in(was moved to the yard on a truck) but had failed the MOT on ALOT of welding at both front arms rotted like the above. Also pretty common on Corsa D and Fiat Punto cars
I can't afford a new car so my only choice is repair unfouturnatly or it would go scrap yard.underneath looks ok and only faults or loud engine and suspension
Good news, and replacing the pair is a good thing. Doing one usually means doing the other one sooner rather than later and in the meantime it's like walking with only one shoe re-heeled.
And possibly the pads are low, requiring that bit more effort of the fluid, iirc, you got this car recently? It makes sense to have a good look over the system and keep an eye out for leaks if it does need topping up.
Yes even I've replaced my gaiter (for the perf leather) and I'm a moron; it's a few minutes to get off and you'll have eyeballs on. Your suspicion is a good bet for investigating, and it's reassuring that the flashing light isn't something more ominous.
