Hi Everyone
I'm trying to find the source of some knocking and occasional spring 'twang' from the front end of my car. I've found that I need a new ARB drop link today, but I thought I'd drop out the struts on both sides to check the spring seats and inspect for cracking etc.
I couldnt find any cracks in the seats but I could find some strange looking angles of the bearing plate and also the rubber (in the photos attached, shown with the red arrows) appears to be 'torn'. It's certainly not fully detached but it doesn't look normal to me.
Any opinions please!
I am currently thinking replace just the spring seats on both sides and the ARB drop link I've found to be knocking.
Cheers
Will.
