| MK1 Octy Vrs Front suspension "twang" When I put my steering on full lock I notice a load "twang" that sound like its coming from the drivers side front suspension spring. I haven't had the car up in the air yet , but I had a quick look under the arch and the spring still seems to be seated in the strut OK. Any idea's?

| Re: MK1 Octy Vrs Front suspension "twang" Sounds like a broken spring to me, had the same on both sides of my Fabia. |

| Re: MK1 Octy Vrs Front suspension "twang" Roller bearing that allows the sping to move slightly when on full lock there are a few names for this part i think its about 10 pounds to buy and 2 hour job strut has to come out the rebuild sometimes they sieze or the bearings just brake up could also be broken spring but roller bearing most likely |

Jack the car up today , and you're right - its a broken spring. Something else to add to the list of things to do.

| Re: MK1 Octy Vrs Front suspension "twang" The spring is definitely broken. While the leg is off I will replace the strut top bearings any way.
