Rear Suspension

[JFN77]

Hiya

My rear suspension is appearing to be (it is) sagging on the off side. The whole of the rear suspension seems to be lower than maybe it should be but is noticeably lower on the O/S. I've heard an intermittent clonk which appears to be coming from there over big speed bumps or dismounting a kerb. 

 

Rear Shocks? Springs? Ideas on how I could check this?

 

**EDIT - I've just been under the car again and the spring has snapped! Not sure how I missed that!!??!!

 

Cheers

Hi Jon

 

That was my first thoughts.

It is worth replacing both springs as if one has gone the other won't be too far behind and it gives an even drive and steering is not compromised.

What mileage have you done, and do you think it has been towing a caravan, not often springs snap is it

Its unusual on a Honda, although very common on Vauxhalls as well as quite a few other brands
