Knocking from the Rear (Broken Spring)

[pacenotes]

So I have had a knocking noise on the 197 while going over bumps. I tried to get the wheel off but the locking nut was ****e and wouldn't budge, I finally got the wheel off yesterday to find this.

So looks like a new spring is in order anyone have a link to them as only lowering springs come up when I google it.

I found some threads to replace the spring and it looks ok for a DIYer??

Cheers mate knew there would be some on there...

Should I change both at the same time or can I just do the one?

Got it out in a hour this morning. First time doing anything other than disks so was thinking it would take hours of my time.

Very easy to do. one bolt and out they come and what a difference it makes to the car! Thanks Roy for getting them to me so quickly!

The French make ****e cars but at least they make them so you can DIY!
