Have I got broken springs?
I've noticed that when I turn into a junction going down hill I hear a kind of pop noise. It kind of sounds like running over a plastic bottle. It's happens when the front left or front right is loaded in the turn. I'm not going fast. Maybe 5-10mph. It doeant do it that often. My tyres are in good condition with even wear. What do you guys think?
Jack it up and have a look
Unfortunatly my jack broke when I last jacked it up. The car fell off the jack and went through the side skirting. Luckily it still held the car off the floor otherwise I'd have been really screwed. The jack is bent and un-useable. I was a little upset about that!
look at your car do it lean to one side?? easy way to tell if they are as my signum looks slamed when spring ****ed justa fort
Invest in something like this as it makes working on your car safer and simpler.: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_165727
Wow that's a good price!
Think I nay get that as an Xmas pressie!
No it doesn't lean but the noise comes from front left and right. The car looks pretty low but I'm not sure if thats broken springs or just the SRi suspension. Either way the ride is pretty firm!Originally Posted by bangty 1
