Rattle on bumps

[Ryoka]

Hello!

Im currently in a 2ltr Ford Focus Titanium diesel (58 plate). As of recently, when going over minor bumps, there seems to be odd rattle, more so when the near side takes the brunt, around the clutch area (from what my hearing zones in on anyway)

Today I had to veer to the hard shoulder to allow an Ambulance pass on a slip road and the rattle when crossing the white line was a lot more louder than usual with a slight squeal.

On it’s last MOT springs were mentioned, however with it appearing from the region of where the clutch is, what are the chances of it simply being spring?

I’ve has clutches go in the past and I can safely say the focus isn’t showing the signs previous  cars did 😬

Thanks

Clutch/gearbox isn't far away from the spring. Best to get the wheel off and have a look. They usually snap right at the bottom so you will need a mirror and torch to inspect it.
