Strange Suspension Creak/Knock when pulling away and stoppi

Glad to hear the problem has been resolved, and presumably quite cheaply.

MAJOR UPDATE - PROBLEM FIXED

I wanted to share a major update with you, I have had the problem fixed this morning.

After all the crap I have been through, I took it to a garage this morning and it turns out the wishbone bolts weren't properly torqued, despite everything being torqued before.

Literally the chap went round and torqued everything about 20 mins and took for a drive, came back and said its fixed. I didn't believe so went for a test drive, OH MY GOD, the car is totally silent now and it feels stiffer.

I am chuffed to bits!

Thank you to each and every one of you who has tried to help me resolve this issue. I have spent many a night reading about ways to resolve! Thank you.

Fantastic news Mr. G
and thanks for returning to update your thread. 
shoutout for the garage is in order I think 👍

Absolutely agree, I've known Steve for years at this garage but never used him but always recommended him to others.

If anyone needs some services in North Birmingham, give Steve a call at Fast Track, he is on about a 1.5 week lead time for bookings though.

£50.

Wish I had gone to him first instead wasting hundreds on the whole suspension.
Oh well, lesson learned.
