Front upper shock mount?
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 8:58 pm
Hi guys,
Could do with some advice, bought a Mk2 Rocco bout 6 months ago and loving it so far.
Recently the drivers front side developed a sag, looking at the front of the car the drivers side is lower than the passenger side(guessing at 10-20mm based on distance from top of wheels to bodykit)
I initially thought it was a collapsed spring but in the last week a rattle has developed from drivers front when hitting bumps, potholes etc. and seems to be getting worse.
Shocks are fine, spring isnt broke (may be collapsed) and jacking the car up and rocking the wheel doesnt show anything obvious and I "think" the bushings are ok. What's the most likely thing to start at? Is there a way to check the front upper shock mount as I hear these can wear out regularly?
Any other suggestions?
Sorry if Im asking dumb questions, but if you dont ask you dont learn
Cheers
