knocking noise? any ideas?

[LiamR172]

ive been hearing a pretty loud knock or clunk since i put my new wheels on the clio.

basically whenever i turn while parking or a shard junction i can hear a knock or bang. its coming from my back left wheel so i stuck it up on the ramp and had a look and ive noticed that my springs are different sizes.

they are the standard springs so im guessing one of them is fuckered.

one side looks normal and the other side is squashed.

the ride height of the car is still the same though. any ideas?

im planning on lowering the car very soon anyways but i just want to know if its the actual springs or is there another problem too?

thanks!

you 100% sure its the back?

 

[LiamR172]

yes im 100% sure. it also makes a noise as if something is rubbing on the wheel, like the mud flap or something but ive checked this a few times and cant see anything?

this is also on the back wheel.

AH ha, i figured out what it is... its nothing to do with the springs.

its the rubber mounting for the exhaust, the rubber has worn away and the tail pipe is knocking off the metal where the rubber used to be!

any ideas how much the mountings are?
