gayjay86 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Iv just brought a 2004 Ford Mondeo 2.0 petrol.. a great car.. since i have owned it its always creaked and groaned from front suspension & steering sometimes feels heavy.. it went straight thru MOT before i bought it and have found out today iv got a snapped spring on drivers side front.. Is it likely the heavy steering occasionally and creaking an groaning is caused by the snapped spring or could i have another problem too.. any help appreciated..

stef123 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The creaking and groaning is most likely because of the broken Spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gayjay86 Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thankyou.. Also another question i forgot to ask was when braking gently theres a judder, almost as if abs is cutting in but its not.. would a snapped spring also cause that aswell.. many thanks for replying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I would say the judder is more likely a warped disc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambeers Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 if you do have to replace your disks, make sure you wear them in properly. I didn't on mine and it warped again in a few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't on mine and it warped again in a few weeks. I had cheap discs fitted to mine and they still warped within 2 months, even with my best efforts to not sit on the foot brake etc. The vented Brembos that I fitted to replace the cheapo discs are still fine after 2 years so I guess you get what you pay for.

stef123 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Why anyone would want to buy cheapo discs and pads is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
