It has got more Tony but not all the time.
Hard to to ignore a clonk when you turn the steering wheel pretty worrying.

Sounds like the sling isn't seated correctly, also are the wheel but correctly torqued?
Wheel nuts are tight.
Can you record the noise with your phone Tracy?
Tony.
Tony.
Will try over weekend but it's a dull clonk not loud but can hear it when i turn the steering wheel or brake very first time .
Doesn't do it driving straight or on the move just occasionally intermittent turning steering wheel.
Doesn't do it bouncing the car up and down so not shock .
Sounds as if something catches and one or two knock clonks but obviously it's not something catching.
I did ask lee if it was a faulting drop link but highly unlikely.
Sounds like something loose taking slack but everything is apparently is tight.
We wondered if it brake calliper or pads but we are not mechanics as you know so i guess it will need expert investigation once again at some stage at a garage.

Tired rear control arm bush or brake disk rotation - do the brake discs have the retaining screws fitted?
Rear control arm bushes done last year ( Lollipops )
Wil try to see if brake discs have retaining screws.
Thank you.

Definately not a broken spring or tired top mount Tracey?
Looked at spring looks fine. Wether it sits right i don't know but no reason it shouldn't sit right not unless it's where it's been jacked up.
Hi Paul
No i have heard it after 20/30 mins parking at work very slow manoeuvring of stand still.
Thanks for the input.

Hope you get your Z sorted @Tracy Dee

It could be the universal joints in the steering intermediate shaft. You can actually feel the looseness through the wheel as you turn but only for a second. If costs are becoming a problem, groupon have a few garages in your area that offer a discount on your next service. This is just one offer https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/aadrenalin-vehicle-services

I had a poorly seated rear wheel recently and it made all sorts of noises - everything looked fine until you examine it closer.
Cliff spent a couple of hours on the drivers side with the wheel off having a meticulous look around and checking the tightness of every bolt joint on that side .
He even sprayed everything up with wd40 everything is rock solid tight and could not get a turn on anything except for the bottom bolt on the drop link he got a couple of nips up on it he said.
Anyway wheel back on been out 3 times no clonk knock or anything
so fingers crossed.

That's good new @Tracy Dee
Glad your clonk clonk has gone

Glad it was a simple fix. Your bank balance just let out a sigh
Very true Lee Zed fund is empty at present but then again i think it's had enough spent over the last year.
Although just put in £40 of V power for the Cotswolds on Sunday.
Thank you everyone for your advice.
