Hi, i am having a problem with my 306 diesel.Whenever i go over a bump the front of the car makes a clanging noise.I have had my car looked at by a garage and was told everything was ok i.e shockers,springs,bushes.If anyone out there happens to know what the problem is i would appreciate it if you could help me out.
Did you have them look at the engine mount?
Always very difficult to diagnose things like this from a distance. Can you tell which side it comes from? A passenger in the car with you might help pinpoint its position. Again, is it a clang, or a knock? Favourite on these models is the anti-roll bar bushes, and drop links. A worn drop link will make quite a sharp noise, but the anti-roll bar bushed make a more dull thud. Also a badly worn lower ball joint can be noisy. Are you sure you haven't just got a loose exhaust somewhere, as that would match the sound.
I would go for worn p bushes. i get a lot of these to do as there a crap design. And if you lower the car they wear out even quicker.
Also another bad pint which produces a knocking is the rear bushes which cause a knock when you go over speeds bumps.
