Does it happen when turning left or turning right, or both? :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

If it only does it when cornering in one direction its likely to be a wheel bearing, which is what I think Mick was leading up to (sorry Mick). It will normally be the one that has the weight being thrown on it.

Have a look at the anti-roll bar bushes. They get worn out and can cause similar symptoms, especially on a 9 year old car.

Unfortunately they're sealed bushes on the C4, so you either need a garage willing to modify them to change the rubber bush inside, or replace the whole bar unit as one.


Also, possibly the engine mounts, if the weight is shifting to the side as you turn a corner at speed.
