My daughter took a friend's mom and grandmother to an appointment. Together they approx. 500# and sat in the back seat. My daughter and her sat in the front and weigh approx. 300# together. Way too much wt. for this small car!! I took it for a ride and did not notice anything unusual except a slight "clunk" when going over bumps that sound like maybe the spare. Any opinions?
Hi there. When trying to identify rattles and squeaks the first thing to do is remove everything from the car and I mean everything that's not supposed to be there - pens, bottles under the seat, everything from the glove box, side front and rear pockets, boot area and even the spare wheel - you never know what's under there. Only when the car is totally cleared should you take the car for a drive to check for rattles and squeaks. If you do still hear something, here's a little tip, if you hear the rattle when you drive over a rough surface, lightly touch the brake pedal, if the rattle goes away, you have rattling calipar pins which you may then wish to have replaced. Best regards, Scottech.
Easy walk around see if car is stil straight and push all 4 sifdes bit down fast an watch the dampening effect. optical inspect for broken springsd or oil leakages too. Most quick fit carshops offer free suspension test. shakening and measuring. beware some rip-off joints might conclude all shot and sell you new tyres also

Overload may have killed a worn bushing somewhere. You will need to look carefully. Otherwise, make different appointments or consider diets or air shocks!
