It could be that your coil spring is fractured, snapped or broken. Autoexperts Medway in Gillingham can replace or renew all types of suspension components.
Suspension is the word that collectively describes a number of vehicle components that include coil springs and shock absorbers. Similarly linkages and even the tyres and the air in the tyres contribute towards a vehicles road holding and handling.
A suspensions purpose is to keep vehicles occupants comfortable and a ride quality reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, rattles, knocking and vibrations.
Coil springs are one part of the Macpherson strut which is typical to many types of car suspension systems. The Macpherson strut uses the top of a telescopic damper which is in cased by a coil spring. It has a bearing as the upper steering pivot. A coil spring is widely used in the front suspension of modern vehicles. It takes its name from Earle S. Macpherson, who developed the design.
The most common fault with the Macpherson strut is a fractured, snapped, or broken spring. A coil spring is under immense pressure and should the spring fracture or snap it could become dislodged. The vehicle may appear lower or the jagged edge of the spring could stab into the tyre causing further damage and expense as well as being extremely dangerous.
Should you hear a knocking noise over bumps then it could be that the top mount bearing has worn. The top mount may creak on turning which could be a sign that the bearing has become dry and will need to be renewed because it has worn out.
It is important for the suspension to keep the road wheel in contact with the road surface as much as possible, because all the road or ground forces acting on the vehicle do so through the contact patches of the tyres.
