Knocking from the front driver's side

Hi guys, having a bit of a problem at the moment. The car is suffering a knocking which sounds like it's coming from the front driver's side area.

My initial thought was that it was the drop links, so I replaced them and it's still making the knocking noise. The car has been on a ramp at a garage, and they couldn't find any play in any components underneath the car.

The car makes the knocking noise when turning, and it happens when the car is not moving and when it's moving (so all the time basically).

Any ideas?

Thanks. :thumbs:

I had no knocking but drop links looked old so replaced my drop links, knocking there.. put all drop links back.. knocking there. God help the annoying knocking that i could have avoided :(

Mine is doing the same as well. Maybe it's Corsa's time of the month.

Will be getting mine on the ramps friday to yank some bits around :/

I have a similar noise on mine. If I open the bonnet and push down on the drivers wing I can hear it. So guessing it's the top mount. I only drive to work at the moment so leaving it tI'll after the new year then will replace them both :)
