I have a 51 plate corsa c, and im getting a clunking/rattling noise from somewhere in the rear (interior/exterior cant tell) when turning corners or driving bumpy roads (doest seem to happen when driving on A roads and motorway where the tarmac is straight) . Took it back to Vauxhall as it has a network q and Vauxhall remaing warranty, but there saying it needs the rear stripping down to find the problem and i have to pay the initial strip down which takes 4 hours and will cost me about £280 just to see if the problem is covered by warranty then i dont pay anything.
Ant suggestions what it might be?

cars arent my speciality!!
I was thinking it could be a rear bush?! Tried spraying WD40 on the rear arms. Seemed to help a little!
If i took it to a small garage then went back to vauxhall with the prob would it void my warranty?

Mine clunks at the rear passenger side sometimes but I don't think its anything major as the car feels fine to drive.

Funny you should say that cause mine only done it when it was lowered, I know have standard springs back on and its gone.

the noise comes from the rear drivers side!
When it clunks and rattles i can feel the vibration of it through my seat!

 SORTED!!!!!!
Took it to a small garage, checked it over and it was the driver door! The door latch was tightened and  no more noise!!!!
