Steph3491 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 So I think my mk7 09 fiesta front spring is broken (sounds like there's metal hitting off metal when I'm going over bumps) and I need some advice. I've had to find a new mechanic because my last one was a friend of my ex and I'm concerned that I'm going to end up being ripped off because I don't have a clue what he's talking about. Roughly how much should it cost? And I've heard that your better getting them both done at the same time because once one goes, they both will? This is when being a man less, clueless girl isn't handy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramanic Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Suhn that gets fooked generally isny cheap lol well think you got national tyres n don't see any other garages a know of and rapid fit is to the west of you just take it around different places n see what they say n if they give a quote just compare it to others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramanic Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 A think a got quoted to lower my car was suhn like 250ish tops and that's to replace 4 springs so might be a lot cheaper that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramanic Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Forgot to say am sure springs are around 35-40 each then it's the Labour involved :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 If you're driving it to the garage and it is a snapped spring be very careful! I don't want to worry you but I saw a Mk7 Fiesta come into the garage where the snapped spring had gone through the tyre as well! Can you jack up the corner of the car the noise is coming from? A snapped spring will be really easy to see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph3491 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Broken spring. £100ish to fix it and the guy took the broken bit out so its not rattling and shouldn't pop my tyre. Thanks for all the advice guys! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
