I had 2 jtd weekends.. ![]() Charlie

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

I also suspected the lower balljoint on the wish bone or the driveshaft as they can pull when turning if they naff. This car has had me scratching my head for weeks lmao
