Front suspension problem

[Welshy_Pete]

The car started leaning to one side a little bit but didn't take much notice as thought I was seeing things lol.

But then a few people recently said the car leaning on one side. I had a look today and its clearly leaning more now. I had a look on the back its fine but the front passenger side fine to.

The front driver side the shock and spring was right up compressed.

I went over a speed hump and it knocked it back out again. But the car still on a slight slant but far less than the picture.

NEW UPDATE, I have checked the spring its not broken.

So is it the shock or spring or both?

thanks

Check the spring theres probably a bit broke of it, a shock wont cause a difference in height.

Unless the shoks fooked.

Christ that looks pissed, I'd say snapped spring

[Welshy_Pete]

Thanks for the advice.

So really I need to change both springs on each side if changing one.

I was looking at 2 kyb springs with 2 year warranty including p&p £43 those any good?

Is there any others I should be looking at to?

Are the shocks leaking at all? Personally I'd change the complete strut to save hassle.

Snapped spring, or possibly damper that's pissed all the oil out and sticking.

There no leaks on the shock.

I have had a good look today and the spring not broken.

[daddyfixit]

if the springs not bust, then the shock absorber piston is getting stuck.....new shockies time !!

anti rol bar could of slid along the bush's

[daveylennon93]

Arb bushes are groved in the brackets.

Doubt it would make a big diference like that anyway.

Take the strut apart and see is the shock alryt.

I had this on my hdi. Replacing stock suspension for coilovers sorted mine so I'm guessing that was my problem, both shocks were knackered so I guess that's my problem. Was on a right lurch!

[Welshy_Pete]

I have put my fingers and felt all the way around the spring and its all in one piece. I jacked the car up to do this. So the spring has not snapped so it must be the shock?

When I stop harsh the front end of the car passenger side goes up and down but driver side stays solid?

Could it be a weak spring?

The only thing it could be driver side shock gone?

[Welshy_Pete]

I might get some gas shocks what do you think?
