Twang or Bang
28. Mar 2011 at 20:32
 
whilst driving out the car park yesterday,the old mig let an almighty bang Shocked from front nearside suspension,something gave up the ghost Cry,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 Huh.
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 EmbarrassedAny suggestions on what 2 look would be great..
2000 w new shape 30ltr mv6 man.

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.  Wink
