Having trouble with my Picasso.
last week i clipped a kerb lightly ( passenger side) while avoiding a stray.
brakes seized so i took it home took apart brakes and cleaned it all up, wee bit of copper ease and bobs your uncle. no squealing.
But then i noticed my wheel was slightly rubbing off the bottom of the coil springs on the McPherson strut.
i figured dampener gone, went to scrappy's got a strut and hub. fitted it after much heartache and 3 sheered bolts! it was on, ( weak cheer ).
took for run. no rubbing but it was only 1 cm off top of wheel. other side was an inch..
tested it on all roads., sounds and feels better, and still not rubbing but still only 1cm gap compared to an 3cm on the other side.//
I'm trying to figure out what could be causing the sag..
i have looked at other Picasso's and they are all fine.
so far my train of thought is, looked at wishbone, ballpoints ect. all new.
changing the droplink in a few days..
maybe rear gas suspension?
any ideas people. im a wee bit stuck
