ZestycloseMango9 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I need some advice. I went away for a month and was expecting the usual flat rear tyre as have slow puncture but was very surprised to see the whole front of my car has lowered, the wheel arch had lowered so the wheel is actually one/two inch inside it. Its not just one side it is both front wheels. I presume its coils or shocks but not sure which, but what is strange its both sides not just one, that is the mystery? Car is Fiesta 2007 1.25 Studio model.

Marineboy Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Holy cow, springs on both sides! Aren't MOTs wonderful things. I've just posted to ask suspension advice on our fifth gen Fiestas as I've just had one go ping on mine. Best of luck Zesty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Did the springs snap while it was parked it have I misread that? I've snapped a couple when first moving off after a period of being parked but never heard of them spontaneously snapping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marineboy Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yup, same here. I've had this "wake up and the springs have gone" phenomena twice. If you Google around it's a real thing and happens all the time. Someone smart needs to look at this closer and let us all know why this happens.😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
