i would be checking your springs not snapped or if you have it the spring catcher isnt loose

 

[wsty]

spring seem to still be taut and when i push down on wing no noise at all.

sounds like drop links, cheap to buy, a bugger to replace.

They make rattling noises when going over rough ground.

 

[wsty]

just had another look and looks like the spring may have snapped after all
although no noticeable difference in driving, is that normal??
any idea of cost to replace??

 

[dan-the-man]

most people didn't know their spring has snapped.

you'll need to replace both springs as you can't replace just one, no idea of cost of the springs, but labour shouldn't be too much.
