    My front shocks and springs need replacing on my Corsa 1.7 CDTI SRI. If possible I would like to avoid having to buy and use spring compressors and avoid having buying the springs and shock absorbers separately. Are there complete assemblies available to buy for this model? I have looked around...

    Hi Techies... We had Front Road Springs replaced on our Meriva, as the N/S Spring was broken on MOT inspection. Since the car's return we have had a 'Rattle/clunking' sound occasionally from the N/S when on uneven surfaces.. I have gone all over the N/S testing the torque on every bolt and...

    Hi, I hope someone can help me with this because I'm all out of ideas. NSR camber arm snapped on my Insignia, I've removed it but can't get the new one in. The tension in the suspension means I can't get the bolt through the axle into the new arm. I've tried compressing the spring, and jacking...

    Hi all, I was about to change my rear springs on my '05 Astra H 1.7cdti but noticed that the lower rubber mounts / buffers look like they need replacing. I've managed to find replacements for the top on ebay but can't seem to find any for the bottom. Has anyone had any luck sourcing these? cheers!

    Hi Just brought a 2015 2.0 Insignia Elite. The car drives well apart from very soft suspension. Going down a road with the lights on, the beam goes up and down. Also sometimes going round a corner the car sometimes feels as though it is bouncing. Is this normal it has 15000 miles on the car...

    Hi, can anyone tell me how I can tell if my Zafira 1.9 CDTi SRI is fitted with sports suspension. I have a broken rear spring and all the online parts stores have springs but state that not suitable if the car is fitted with sports (or lowered) suspension. Had a look and the current springs are...

    I've had the Eibach sportline suspension fitted to my car so it's been lowered 50mm at the front and 30mm at the back. The car handles a lot better though the corners and looks great, however if I hit a slight bump in the road my suspension bottoms out at the front & it makes a loud bang. It's...

    My van has only done 16k miles (<3yrs old) and has just had a warranty repair to replace the top mounts for the suspension struts... so if your van feels a bit clattery over bumps (feels like the drop links have gone) then get the top mounts may need sorted. The mechanic at my local vauxhall...

    Hi all, I'm new here but have read many articles previously. I'm having some trouble with my beloved Zaf. I've had it since December 2015 and have up to now still not been able to find the problem. Loads of mechanics and mates can't seem to find it either. When nearly full lock in either...
