Suspension Problem??



  Vectra :(
Hi all

Over the past 2 days i have noticed when cold and until the car has done a few miles i get a knocking from the rear when i turn a left. This happens more (or at least more noticable at speeds over 20mph) and only on long or sharpish bends. My first thought was the rear shock but when i got out and pushed down on the rear side making the noise nothing happened bar for swashing the fuel around the tank.

Clio is a Mk2 172 and covered 53k (only covered 3k while i have owned it so i dont know the history of whats been replaced and when)

Any ideas what it could be, i am not mechanically minded. Could this be an excuse for new shocks and springs?

Cheers

rear dampers have a habbit of popping, is there any oil leakage and what is the damping like , quick return, slow return?

No oil under the rear of the car at all and return seems ok, not the fastest but nothing to suggest knackered dampers
