Hi All
Hope you can hope so far - Green Flag and AA accredited garage and today yet another have failed to resolve my problem. I have a W reg Marea Estate that pulls well and is in great all round shape - I love it.
It has a fault which no one seems to be able to diagnose. It has a knock or thudding sound that comes from the offside wheel area. The garages have to date replace drop rods, bushes etc and still no joy. The last garage spent over 45 minutes with the car suspended on jack - and still no obvious culprits such as a cracked coil spring.
The noise is noticable when going over rough or unven roads - purely from that side. On smooth services and careful pothole free driving no noise at all. The last guy suggested that there may well be a fitting at the top of the shock absorber that may have gone - will this mean removing the wing and is this a plausable explaination.
I am no car guru - so you guys may need to help me out a little.
