Clio valver on 74k and with rolly suspension, presuming (as I do) it is the front at fault do I replace the springs only, as surely the shocks should be ok? Other thing is how much will it cost for 2x springs and fitting? Major budget, I must feed my family! |

why would the spring sneed changed?
What do shocks do? Yes they damp movement? Why is the car rolling lots, assuming theres no knakcered bushes on the arb, yes thats right the dampers are knackered.
Dampers wear springs don't springs snap. |

Ok this is my recent bone of contention, yep Chris it rolls, particularly right hand bends. So how easy is it to replace arb bushes?
Didnt mean to be a spud, just it is annoyin me so much at the moment, feels like the car is gonna go off the road! |

you need new shockers. ARB bushes are cheap and easy but if you ain;t getting a clunking then they prob ain't the problem.
Dependign on your luck and how the cars used yo ucan knock out a set of dampers in a few k miles. |
