Hello all I have a fiat marea 2001 elx auto and last month it developed a knocking noise when turn left or right and while stationary turn the wheel left to right and it knocks. I've replaced droplinks already

Hi.

Quite possibly ii its the bearing on top of front shock..

it gets sticky.. and holds top of spring tight

As you steer.. the bottom of spring twists

Itll only twist a little then pushes the top bearing round.. often with a BOING from the spring

Common issue on later puntos :eek:

Mareas.. I had 2 jtd weekends.. :)

are they easy to fix bud
 
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

Cool man hey Thank you so much for the information buddy I can't thank you enough. 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
