L reg 2.0 suspension noise problem - TimOrridge
Hi,

Over the last two weeks I have noticed a what can only be described as a mild boingy noise (like a springy type noise) when putting full right lock on and also on the rerurn to centre. You can also feel the "twangs" through the contols. It apears to be coming from the drivers side spring mount under the bonnet. You dont her or feel it at speed just close manouvering as it only happens at more than 50% full lock on right.

Any ideas what it may be . new coil spring, or maybe needs tightenting??

It doent feel like somethings loose and drives as normal it is just the noise. I will get checked but want to have a idea mysef what it is?

If a replacement is immenent, is it wise to get both sides done?

TIA

it's possibly the suspension spring moving on the strut, likely due to a failed rubber component (which if any depends on saab setup)
