Twinging and twanging

And knocking around by my feet when going over bumps. Creaking steering....

I think I'm beginning to hate this car!

I replaced all the front suspension less than 2 years ago. More rubbish parts to replace....

Presume that’ll be the strut top bearings then Dave?
I’ve never replaced so many suspension parts on any other cars I’ve owned before.
Some were down to poor choice, some to poor quality. Now I think I do it just for the sake of checking differences in components.🙄🙄🙄

Top bearings aren't expensive to buy although they take a bit of time if you're paying someone else to do it. As far as the knocking under your feet is concerned are you absolutely sure of the location? If it actually seems to be coming from somewhere under the drivers seat then it could be as simple as dying exhaust rubbers.

Check that any of the the suspension/steering fixings are not loose.

Cheers for the responses

I'm just trying summon up the ooommmph to crawl underneath and poke around.

I'm really, really hissed that the strut bearing has gone. I paid a premium buying from Rimmers. Poor quality replacement parts are going to kill this marque.

Lord of hog...mines a lhd but saying that I still can't think of anything that would knock around there....
