while driving, going over a bump or rough bit of road, or come to a sudden slow down i get this weird like single knock sound!!! hard to describe???
anyway ive posted about it before and someone thought it was the craddle bolt or a bolt loose on/near anitroll bars, but i checked and they seem fine 
the noise is getting worse, more constant now...
thing that confuses me is that wen i got people in the car they all say its coming from different directions...e.g. to me it sounds like from front right of car, were as front passengers says front left and even from rear??
wat could it be?? suspension, shocks somthing loose in door!??

nah mate its not lowered, but its a Gsi so its a touch lower than normal corsas....ive got a group A zorst which is big but im sure its not knocking on the rear beam coz i fitted it myself and made sure their was good clearance!
wat else could it be??
also ive noticed, but maybe just a coincidence that since i had my 2litre disks and calipers fitted it started to gradually get worse???
and to me it sounds "like" its comming from the front right area near the wheel/door??

did you jack the car up when you fitted it?
mine has a bigger exhaust on so it hits under heavy loads or bad bumps
