Try putting front wheels on back, if that works then look for damaged wheel/tyre or wheels badly out of balance.
If it makes no difference check for damaged CV joint on drive shafts, though usually the will knock and worse turning one way than the other.

The GP 199 platform is actually quite a tall car (my 2012 was described as 'on stilts')

Back when they were massive sellers 2008/12 there were lots of lowered ones on here, and CVs were a common failure ( they are designed to work in a specific arc of movement) shifting the range of arc really stresses them
(I suspect CorsaD will be a good thing for comparison, did they have fixes on the Vaux / Opel forums?)

I recommended back then the motor sport style ' plunge joints', where the drive shaft floats a little to give the joints an easier time, expensive though..

I have changed the driver side shaft so I will try swapping wheels if not maybe time to changed the o/s side shaft
