Excuse my ignorance. Are drop links the bar that connects the strut to the anti role bar? The manual calls them stabilizer links. If so ive done those which i initially thought would solve the problem |

To me it does sound like the Drop Links (Stabiliser), that annoying rattling is what I experienced in a previous car.

Is the sound coming from the front or back? There are drop links at both ends of the vehicle. Hyundai Ioniq 5 Ultimate. The family car. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Gone. 2006 Tonga Green i6 HSE. Gone. Audi A5 convertible, my daily driver. 1972 Hillman Avenger GT, the project. |

By spring do you mean the coil that covers the damper |

Yes, the front strut spring. we had one break off at the bottom three inches, the broken part lay under the spring, One has to jack the car up, remove the wheel, and look carefully, the broken edges can be quite sharp too. Use a torch and small mirror. Check the top, and both sides of the car. A seized top strut bearing can fatique the spring, and lead to breaks. We had a long term VW Polo that was always breaking front springs. I suggest if broken, you buy the original spec springs, which vary on different models, according to the workshop manual. Left and right usully have different spring rates on many Landrovers. We have three Freeladets, they all drive differently, and my latest 2013 SD4 XS drives similar to a Discovery TD5. Strange! Remember that one needs a big spring compressor too, a shop job. |
