whilst driving out the car park yesterday,the old mig let an almighty bang :o from front nearside suspension,something gave up the ghost :'(,unsure what to look for..As someone who use to own a Vx carlton in my private hire days,i no what worn link arms sound like,me thinks is more serious :-?.
Some thing is now ratting on that side even if i drive over a fag butt on the road.
I hear you guys say what does it sound like?to me the best discription is..Sounds like a load of loss ball bearing rattling in a sock with every bump,metaliciy or even broken glass..Sorry about discript guys :-[Any suggestions on what 2 look would be great..
2000 w new shape 30ltr mv6 man.
cheers john :y

my bet wold be broken spring or droplink snapped, outside chance the  rollbar has broken, but ive only seen this on a trackday, but its possible i guess,

Thanks 4 that mate,bearing in mind im lucky doing 15 mile a week in Bl---y thing,ill be right p----- off if a springs broken, she does still sit level though..
Cheers John

was there anthing on the road you could of run over, had a sould like that years ago and it turn'd out to be the spill off drain front wheel hit the damaged one(bang) and back wheel hit the good one

turned sharp right from my parking space,straighten up drive 10 yards.. BANG :o was doing around 3 mph nothing on road any where mate

my car made a similar bang recently, sounded like spring, checked them all over, all fine. So i'm confused lol.
My back right end squeaks and creaks a little, so that may be related.
who knows, Might have just been a spring resettling itself.

As Omegatoy says, it'll be a knackerded spring.  ;)
