What a sodding day.
I was driving back from Whitby about 90 mins ago, and whilst accelerating along a NSL road, I head an almishgty bang from underneath the car. A bang which I felt through the pedals.
The road was quite bumpy, but not enough to cause the car to bottom out. So hazards when on, and I nursed her to the next village (luckily only a few hundred meters) and pulled up. A nasty noise intermittantly happening whenever I went over any uneven surface.
I checked under the car, and made sure everything looked ok. Exhaust was hanging properly, and nothing looked bashed out of place. All wheels looked fine, and ride height looked correct all round.
Decided to drive her home. So took it nice and easy. And all seemed ok.
About 10 mins from home, somethign started squeeking loudly from the front. So again I stopped, and checked over the car. Lifted the bonnet and had a look, but its dark by this point so couldnt tell.
Nursed the car home, sounding like sh!t when going over the speed bumps on my estate at 2 mph.
Got the torch, and looked under bonnet.
Found these 2 bits sitting next to the strut brace.
Are these part of the suspension? Cos when looking at the top mount of the drivers side, it looks different and mishapen now compared to passenger side. (i'll take decent pics tomorrow when its light to show what I mean).
Anyone any ideas???
