my trouble started about a week before xmas,spring just broke while car wasn't moving,big bang and it dropped few inches,spring broke in middle,anyway as it was close to xmas I couldn't get original msport spring so locally there was a 528 msport for parts so bought the shock and spring,put that in and instantly looked like it was higher,didnt feel great either,little weird at times,anyway today my suspension arrived so went to replace with proper m sport shocks and springs and seen that bracket was done when wheel removed.,compareing the replacement shock with the msport I got today theres a few differences,mainly the height and the angle on the top mount,msport ones are level and others seem to be at a small angle,thats why it broke the bracket I think.worth replaceing,got 2 new droplinks and 2 new brackets from cab at super4 for less than 80 euro delivered.my car is a 14 years old so better to replace both sides when one fails.while waiting for the parts I can give it a good check over as nct is in couple of months.Quote:

Thanks for info my yoke is the same age ,noticed lately that slight crashing sound, told to check droplinks from the lads here :wink:and sure enough rubbers were perished. I must give good root around to make sure there is nothing more serious going on (I still think everything is original with no new parts). Hopefully you will be all good when you get your bits fitted.
