Hi,

Anyone else got noisy front suspension? When I hit little bumps in the road it goes thump/thump. Also when full steering lock is on as I pull out of a parking space and so on, its a bit creaky.

I've had this before on other vehicles when the rubber shock bushes were worn. There is a rubber whadgimicallit at the top of the front struts, could they be worn out? Any other thoughts on what it could be, or is it just the way its meant to be?
 
mine was clunky, cured it by replacing anti roll bar bushes, was a tenner for a pair off ebay, they are the same ones as the suzuki sx4 (original sx4) takes about an hour to replace, some videos on youtube (sx4) part No 42431-80J00

mine was a bit rattly over slight bumps, turned out to be anti roll bar drop link was not tight enough. I expect it will need replacing soon, looks cheap and easy enough. Tightened up for now and noise has gone.
 
petrol engine easier to do than the diesel, due to lack of space, l/h straight forward, but rh is a bit restrictive, good 12mm spanner needed....for rh side on the diesel...bit at a time but you'll get there, i managed to get a pair of heavy duty drop links from Germany for much less than the price of one single normal one from fiat, (again search sx4) they are twice the thickness of the standard link and have silicone rubber boots instead of black rubber...
