The car is an astra Mk 4. Car makes knocking noise over bumpy roads but cannot feel it through steering. I can twist the drop link quite easily on drivers side and passenger side a bit tighter. Should these be tight and have no movement at all? Thanks in advance for any advice guys.|||There will be some movement felt as you mention even in new ones. Other than the charecteristic knock it is often very hard or impossible to check them for wear whilst still on the car.|||Yes almost certainly the drop links and bushes need replacing, very common on that Vauxhall.
They are quite cheap as well, had mine changed on a Zafira last year for 拢120 inc labour by Vauxhall. 拢5 for drop links, 拢30 for the ARB bushes and 拢85 labour.
The clue is the knock on bumpy roads. Checking while the car has load on the suspension won't really tell you much, just get them changed.
