Hi All,
I'm a new member, and am trying to find out whats up with my Clio 172 W-Reg Year 2000. I've had it about 4 months now and its been fine up till now.
Over the last 2 weeks i've noticed the handling go down hill!!! The rear end feels like its floating and bouncing around on the road!
I'm getting knocking noises from the passenger side rear corner when only going at about 15 MPH???
I am thinking that the rear shock(s) could have gone?, ive had at look at the passenger side rear corner and it seems a bit greasey / oily on the shock. Is there any way to test to find out exactly what the problem is?
I've tried pushing down on the rear end but it doesn't move that much, and it doesn;t bouce too much on the spot either?
And if it is the shock, can I change just one, or shall I do it as a pair?
Hope someone can help me, because it feels like like 172 has turned into a boat!!!!!
Thanks
Richard
