Hi All Multipla Owners
I have owned my Multipla from new and now after 8 years of age and 115 thousand miles of driving it is showing some signs of old age - bit like me!!
Anyhow, when going over any relatively small bump/hole/ridge in the road there is this almighty thump - sometimes quite loud, from the back of the car.
Jacking the car up, then removing the rear road wheels i inspected the front rubber mounts that secure the front of the rear subframe to the car body chassis rails and to me, there appears to be a lot of vertical and some lateral movement.
Has anyone else experienced this with there car?
Also, has anyone changed these rubber bush like mounts and can they be changed in situ - that is to say, without removing the whole of the rear subframe.
Thanks for any advice and assistance.
