I have a 2.0T 2010 model. 220 bhp. FWD. It had FlexRide adaptivr damping. Worn out by now. I had it replaced with Bilsteim B4 non adaptive shocks. That caused knocking and unking noises front and rear. Then i swapped it out for Sachs. The rear is quiet. Front still clonking. Any recommendations on aftermarket shocks that work quietly? Thanks guys.

Or do your top mounts need changing? Or any other part of the front suspension for that matter.

hi unfortunately flexride can only be replaced with flexride, had a few people ask this question so far an aftermarket option for your model is not available or should say the aftermarket options that are available are useless as your finding.

Thanks. Is there any online shop where I can buy FlexRide? Cheers mate.

I've just sourced new genuine GM shocks and springs for my Zafira B from Genuine Parts Search: http://www.genuinepartsearch.co.uk/ for a fraction of dealer prices - but you'll need to know the part numbers.

You may be able to track down the part numbers here: http://ecat24.com/opel/catalog/models/1/
