Hi All,

Glad to be a part of the forum.

I have a question if anyone can help. I recently had a front coil spring snap on my 306 2.0 HDi, this punctured the tyre as usual and the car had to be towed to a garage. After the spring was replaced I noticed a clunk when turning the wheel either way beyond about half way.

I took it back to the garage where the re-stripped and re-fitted the spring, the clunk remained and the garage couldn't tell me what it was. The mechanic said it sounded like a square plate on top of the strut had been damaged when the spring broke and thatthis plate now wasn't turning freely. They advised me to try and find a 2nd hand full replacement strut.

Does this sound likely and will a 2nd hand strut fix it? If so any ideas where I might get one? Are all these struts the same on all 306s?

Please be gentle, I don't know much about cars - but I love my 306!

Thanks,

Steve

Hi, thanks for the reply. It's worse when stationary, much less when rolling. garage checked the top mount bearing and it's fine. They recommended a 2nd hand suspension leg.
