Banging On The Front End Please Help!!!

[krissy1110]

Hey to all, Can anyone help?? I have a banging on the front drivers side, car has new drop links, new track rod ends, and am unsure what else it can be. It bangs when i hit a pothole or turn sharply, spring seems to be fine. she passed MOT in march with no advisories so that hasnt helped me. Any ideas are welcome

Snapped coil spring?

[gsmb]

Is it a definite bang or could it be a hefty twang (technical term lol)?

It could be a broken coil spring, but if it just passed an MOT then possibly not.

It could be it just needs bushes fitted to the springs allowing the springs to move slightly as this is a design fault.

I'm no expert but I believe there is more information on here about it.

Possibly a faulty shock absorber or top mount.

does it only happen when you go over speed bumps

What's the car and how old/what mileage is it?

[krissy1110]

It doesnt happen when i go over speed humps it mainly happens when i turn sharply to the right, hit a pot hole with the right wheel and has started to happen when i pull of fast or slow down quickly. It is a 04 plate and 150,000 miles on the clock x
