Citroen C3 grinding on wheels

Hi, I had this on a Renault - the suspension spring has come out of its mounting point. Its not an easy job to do unless you have the correct tools.

Thanks. How much did it cost you or how did you fix it? Having looked at the manual it is def the suspension spring

Hi, I got the spring from Euro Parts - half the price that Renault quoted, it wasn't that expensive. You will need a set of spring clamps/grips, take the wheel off, drop the shock, take off the old spring, compress the new spring and reverse fit - spring over shock, shock back in place and very slowly release the clamps/grips. Double check that it matches the other side - if it does job done...oh and put the wheel back on!
I did this by myself - never done anything like this before, took me about 90 mins - I did have some tough nuts - have a can of WD40 handy.

Good luck

Check the new spring with the old one , not only on height but usually colour coded on coils for different stiffness .

There was a recall on that fault , could check your vin number .Even though yours is a 2004 , it MAY be affected if possibly old stock not registered till 2004 , just to be on the safe side .
