Hi All,

I'm getting a clunk / creak that I can hear and feel through the steering wheel every time the wheel goes past 10 and 2.

Before I take it to a garage am I right to assume that this sounds like a problem with the steering rack? If so how much would I be looking at

If not what else could it be? I've tried search for creak and clunk but being French cars it brings up quite a lot

Thanks

Could be a top mount bearing gone, or a balljoint... My one balljoint was making all kinds of racket when it had dried out.

Nothing to see here

If it's doing it at the same point on every turn of the wheel then it is more likely to be the UJ on the steering column - try some chain lube or similar on it and see if it eases up.

Hmm, turns out I have a snapped drivers spring Guess I shouldn't have been driving it really!

What's a decent price for new springs and shocks fitted out of interest?

/Whoosh!

Not sure, he told me that the spring had snapped at the top (lucky as if it goes at the bottom it tends to take out the tyre I believe).

Need to decide whether to just get a set of springs fitted or wack some new struts on as well as a) I might as well as they will be needed soon and it's save on labour costs and I quite fancy having brand new suspension

So how much do you think it should be for 2x new springs supplied and fitted and 2 sets of springs and struts supplied and sitted?

Thanks

P.S - Still can't believe I got this soooo wrong. Guess that's why I work in e-com and not in a garage
