Synergie suspension banging

naffa · Post by **naffa** » 12 Jun 2011, 19:33

I've got an increasingly worrying knocking coming from the front suspension on my '98 Synergie.
I have had the suspension arm replaced as the balljoint was knackered and I was hoping that was causing the knocking but its still happening and getting more frequent.
It started happening after having the clutch replaced and only when turning right, but now it is happening when you hit bumps or dips aswell.
Any help or pointers is appreciated please.

Thanks Nath

Wel I took a trip to see my folks in Wales on Sunday and the drive there and back was really scary when I was pushing on a bit.
Driving steady was 'ok' but driving with a bit of spirit was like having 1980's torque steer, awful. drive steady,ok. accelerate lightly, slight pull to the right. Accelerate hard, massive pull to the right. Back off the throttle, pulling back to the left. SCARY!

So I took it into the garage and after a thorough inspection on the ramp by the co-owner and myself we diagnosed wear in the hub where the balljoint pin attatches. The pin was stationary but the hub was moving around it.
Today I have had the offending hub replaced by one I've bought from the local CITROEN/pEUGEOT BREAKERS AND i'M GLAD TO REPORT THAT TE BANGING AND STEERING PROBLEMS REPORTED EARLIER ARE NO MORE.
