I had 2 jtd weekends..  Charlie

Posts: 22,029 Thanks: 774 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: Knocking noise while turning Look in the Grande punto section.. Same basic strut design.. But less trim to remove on a marea Have a look at the forums GUIDES https://www.fiatforum.com/grande-punto-guides/259519-strut-top-bearing-removal-service-replacement-front-spring-replacement.html
