Suspension repairs
Posted: Sun May 21, 2006 8:53 pm
Hi guys,
I just had a little accident with my car - I was going over a speedhump when suddenly I hear a massive CLUNK. I thought I'd maybe scraped the bottom of the car but then noticed every time I turn left, there's the clunk sound again. My dad had a look at the car and jacked it up and saw that one of the arms had snapped off. Its part number 40603 according to the exploded FTO suspension diagrams. Does anyone know how much roughly I'd be looking at to buy this part and how difficult it is to fit? My dad says he's willing to fit it for me but he wants to know the level of difficulty before he attempts it. If the degree is too difficult I'll send it to the mechanics but my dad is mechanically proficient so if possible, I'd rather have him fit it and save some money - any opinions?
