Check droplinks then anti rollbar bushes first. There are quite common for clonking on the C3

Not the sort of thing you would want to do at the side of the road.

Up on a ramp is better. The bushes take a fair amount of compressing to get the bolt back in.

A second pair of hands would be helpful.


These are the parts on Euro Car Parts - C3 roll bar bushes
