hi I have a zafira b 2011 1.7cdti . I have recently changed driveshaft droplinks and track rod ends ... after a few days I developed a knocking noise that has now developed into knocking over every bump and while turning. Either wheel or direction causes a knock .. i changed the wishbones and antiroll bar bushes and it didn't fix the knocking..im at a loss to what it could be

Check for play in the drop links and make sure they're properly tightened. It's surprising quite how much any play at all will amplify and sound horrific when you drive. Grab hold of the drop link and give it a good pull around. If there's any play at all then make sure you address it.
