Hi guys,
My 2004 (33,000 miles) 1.6 Stilo has developed a quite loud knocking sound when going over rough surfaces (especially on cobbles), it sounds likes it coming from the front right suspension, and cant be felt through the steering.
From searching the site and advice from other members it sounds like the likely culprit is the anti roll bar/drop links. I have just got one from Fiat at a cost of £13, so I just need to fit it now.
I’ve printed out the guide on how to change it from the site but I have a few questions…
Is it really that easy? I’m not that mechanically minded but do have access to a full workshop, should I be able to do it?
Any tips or tricks I should know before I start, or any problems I should watch out for?
I’m pretty sure its coming from the right hand side, but how can I check for sure, will the worn link be loose?
What makes it knock? Is it wear in the mounting points?
Thanks in advance
Matt
