306 Estate rear suspension

Jan 17, 2006 5 Replies

I'm getting a clunking sound on rough roads from my rear nearside suspension, which I guess is either shock absorber mountings or the suspension assembly mountings.



Does anyone happen to *know* whether it is possible to replace the four suspension mounts without removing the suspension completely from the vehicle? More specifically, could I do it without disconnecting the brake hydraulics?

Peter, I suspect that a the bush has worn out on one of the suspension struts. jack up the rear and check for play in the wheels - I think you'll find one of them moves quite a bit.

Cheers, Mick.

These people did my 405 a few years back. Fortunately I was on holiday in the West Country at the time. The shocks were still fine, as were the suspension assembly mountings. Cheers ...

Do you mean these people

Thanks for that. I hope I don't need it, but if I do it seems quite reasonably priced.
