Posts: 74 Thanks: 2 Trader Rating: 0  | Front spring rubbing bodywork Seicento 2001 Hi, My front o/s spring occasionally rubs against the bodywork on the inside of the wheel well. Happens when I'm going lock to lock eg when parking. It's as if the spring is either warped or out of alignment. Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips/advice other than removing the strut and changing the spring? Thanks PC
