Suspension problems

21st February 2010, 08:45

Not sure was wrong really at the moment, have been told different things by different people,

basicly when I go over bumps (even slite kinks in the road) I seem to get a sort of mental clink noise! At first I thought it was either the driveshaft or the CV joint on the way out but when going round corners theres no clicking noise like there would be just mabe the odd noise from what ever this problem is!

Anyone have any ideas?

I have the EXACT same thing, ive been told rear bushes?

I Lowered mine and it seems alot better tbh, still there slightly though!

Possibly strut mounts? Or the bearing that sits on the strut mounts. I had this type of problem with my old car (clio). I took the suspension unit out and found the bearing shattered on top of the mount. I dont know if the suspension setup is the same though as like i said i had a clio. Hope this helps.
