right, every time i go over a puthole or grate with my front n/s wheel. the car shunts to the right and knocks. i've replaced the lower arm to no avail.

bit stupidly, but after the test drive and it was the same, i did the bounce test. (should of done that first!) it seems as though the shock is shot. as it dont stop bouncing.

am i right in thinking that what it is? anyone else had these probs?

and so on that... is the 1.9d front set up the same as the 1.2 16v? whats the diff if not?

thanks in advance, karl

The dampers are designed to control the rebound of the spring. when used the damper should prevent the spring from bouncing, so it looks like they are knackered. You Should replace dampers in pairs.

1.9 Td springs and overall suspension units will be much stiffer. They will probably be the same units as the 1.8 or possibly (cant remember) the HGT

just wondering why they different, cos they half price over normal ones for the 1.2 for some reason!.
