Discussion and technical advice the SW20 MR2. 3S-GTE, 3S-GE, 3S-FE etc
Anything and everything to do with maintenance, modifications and electrical is in here for the Mk2.
just had my MR2 hit a pot whole pretty hard
Now i have a very bad creaking noice Nearside front ive taken the wheel off every thing seems on ish
dropp links where relaced 4 weeks ago! only movement i can find is the coil spring can be turn by hand and the anti role bar bush looks shagged
any ideas guys
Phone the council to complain, they will send out a form and tell you to get a quote. you will need to take pictures etc of the pothole and having a witness would help.
That way you should find out exactly whats wrong and hopefully get the damage paid for as the council have neglected the road.
Do you have standard struts?
Can the nearside spring 'spin' with the front off the ground?
If you grab the strut piston (within the spring) and shake it can you hear a rattle? (is the n/s any diferent when you do this?).
