Noise from front passenger side
Posted: Sat Jul 26, 2003 4:07 pm
Well, I've noticed a strange hollow bumping sound coming from the passenger side of the front of my car when going over bumps etc recently...
When I took it to a local tyre place to have my tracking done (and 2 new tyres for the rear as they were past the markers
) I asked them to have a look... "everything looks alright to me mate"...
Anyway, I took it down to JBS this morning, and Kev took it out for a spin. Came back and got it on the ramp saying "that doesn't feel right".
In less than a minute he had found the problem...
The end clamp thing that holds down the anti-roll bar had snapped in two!
D'oh!
So I'm driving around with the anti-roll bar flapping about on the passenger side!
The part is dealer only (ie you can't get it from German & Swedish etc) and they aren't kept in stock at any of the local dealers (there was one at a dealers in Oxford!)... So I'm having to wait until Tuesday for one (but I can't get it fitted till Saturday cos I'm at work all next week.
So I'm going to have to drive slowly for a week now, as my car feels like jelly when cornering at speed. Not good!
