Hi, I was wondering if you could help. My XC has developed a suspension problem which became noticed a few weeks after it pulled some heavy trailer loads. The symptoms are intermittent but frequent clunking sounds from under the car when travelling maybe not necessarily on bumps and sometimes when entering the car and sit down it goes 'clank'. Sometimes you feel a little knock through the brake pedal, also, had it hoisted 4 wheels off ground and when turn the wheel by gripping tyre with hands and turning wheel the spring moves after the end travel, it kind of twists and does about 3cm of play but only at the end of the wheel lock - whereas driver's side of vehicle spring is fixed and unmoving when carried to end of wheel lock. It is almost like the spring is not bolted well. Although everything under car and spring nuts themselves at strut on top seem fine.
Any ideas what I have to check?
Many thanks
