Front Coil Spring Snapped, metallic clunking noise when tight manouvering Options

[bigbear]

The drivers side front spring on my Carisma Did snapped recently. I acquired a replacement from a local motor factor and had same fitted. Since then I have had a metallic clunking sound come from the spring when close manouvering. Is there anything at the top of the spring assembly which may have also gone when the spring snapped. Any help will be much appreciated.

that's funny as i have replaced the same spring on my gdi but before since i have owned it when i go round roundabouts it makes a clunk noise, i changed snapped spring and it's still the same i was thinking maybe it's the front wishbone balljoints?

hi


could it be bearing on top of the strut?

[SRSONE]

upper bearing possibly
strut could be bad also
any of the joints
lots of things could make noise...
a good inspection should find the cause
