Replacing upper strut mounts/bushes

Thanks Chris :o)

Compress the spring a little it helps to get it out as one unit.

Hello again...

Replaced the A/R bar droplinks today and it's still doing it.

Incidentally, I recommend just angle grinding the old drop links out, much easier.

I'm going to try the bushes next, but just wanted to double check a few things:

If it's the lower arm bushes, is it easier to just replace the lower arms? This is what I had to do on my Fiesta.

How do you replace the A/R bushes? A friend who looked at it said there is a cover that seems to be hooked on some where - if you undo it, you can move it but not remove it.

Will the ball joint just rattle by hand if it's loose or do I need to use a tool?

Thanks for your help.

Have u looked at your anti roll bar rubbers it could be them

hi,

if your 306 is suffering from the same knocking noise from the rear end that mine is then i've been reliable informed that its the sub frame mounts that have gone. apparently the parts are =A380 ( or there abouts)

let me know how you get on with it.

Craig
