that REALLY RELIABLE honda i bought ....
done a little search so im guessing i might know the answer but just to confirm ive only had the car a day
when i test drove it all was fine then i picked it up last night since then i seem to have developed
* a knocking noise when on un-even roads
* a slight creaking when pulling away in 1st gear
* when the car is stationary turning the wheel to the left sharpish results in a knocking noise
anyone want to have a guess at what they think is wrong also its not back into the garage till wednesday, he told me over the phone that it would just be the drop liinks that had failed !?!? am i still ok to drive it ?!!?!?!

Providing the car still steers and drives fine i'd imagine that it's still fine to drive.

Steering rack is a common problem on them, mate. Could maybe be that.
