(y)hey, im hoping that some one can offer some good advice...?
i have had my 1.6 stilo for a year, i have had a loud knocking noise - more noticable when you go over speed bumps or a bumpy road for quite a while now. i was about to have it looked at when my power steering went and then had to buy new tyres, and something always seemed to crop up price wise, anyways, took car to garage on tuesday and they said that complete ball joint gone, after £120 later, the noise is still there, car gone back to garage today and i am awaiting the phone call to say what they have found now... im dreading the fact that i mite have another big bill today and the prob will still be there....
is there a common fault with the suspension for this model or can anyone offer any good advice... much appreciated...
 
Broken spring or drop links are common, I would have thought the garage would have checked the springs, my guess is drop links one either side £12 each to buy, easy job to do.
 
kool, will wait to see what 'blag' they come up with.... i will defo mention the drop links tho if knocking still there later... thanks
