Thumbs down Making loads of noises

My beloved MK1 zt-t cdti has developed many suspension knocks and bangs so she's going to have her dignity violated at the garage next Tuesday I'm not looking forward to find out the issues

When you look at the complete front suspension, there isn’t much to change to become rattle free.

Drop links
Arms
Bushes
Strut top bearings

Those are the common cause of a rattle.

Russ,
which garage are you taking it to?
Tuesday after 10am I will be free. If you want to pop it over we can take a look or have them take a look and tell you what is wrong.
I am willing to help change any parts I can so there is no need to pay a garage.
When it comes to suspension I can probably manage to change it all
