A chick i'm seeing just text me this

she was driving along and when she turns left there is a thud ( persume a knocking noise) then when she is driving straight she reckons it's like springs she hears from the passenger side

The car is a fiat stilo any ideas i know the description is pish but it's what i have to work with lol

Cheers

 

is it a voo-voo-zeller stuck in the arch

 

She's a woman, so the thud is her kerbing the alloys.

 

well they'd be her alloys if she is pmsl

 

Could be a broken spring, twanging as it moves about on the strutt?

 

dunno mate, possibly ran over a brick and done something to the suspension mounts....?

Fiat though........Fucked In A Tick

 

broken coil spring

 

alloys or hub caps? cos hub caps tend to make a chain noise after being smashed on the curb/pot hole (the thud)

 

i thought a spring myself tbh then she said it didn't do it when turning right hence i asked on here

 

Broken spring....Springs to mind..

 

say you will need to check it out and give her a service

 

lol i was thinking that told her to bring it round and i'll have a look if it's the spring there easy enough to do so i'll no doubt end up fixing it

 

very very very common to break coil springs on them

 

loose wheel or coil spring

 

I get it mat!!!!and agree!!!

 

Sexist bastard!















How I laughed

 

I've had three springs snap - two in the focus and one in the passat.

The 'twang' described above is a very accurate way of naming the sound - it happens mostly as you move on lock in either direction..

Jacking it up will soon reveal all...
