Boromir Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) Hi there. Earlier today I went over speedbump at between 5 and 10mph and there was a slight bang came from the front drivers wheel area. Now if I go over a speed bump or a pothole in the road it makes a noise like a metal thing is loose a chink kind of noise. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks Edited February 25, 2016 by Boromir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Will be a broken coil spring, I had the same last week , seem to be a regular occurrence now , perhaps because the roads are in such a state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
