Zac why is my Fiat 500 banging?!?!?!

[Banshee]

........Was the question I was asked by my little sister a week ago. I jumped in it and took it for spin round the block and crikey!!!!! She wasn't lying!!!

Seemed to be coming from the rear left of the car and more prominent over speedbumps at slow speeds and flat fast roads with potholes and normal uneven surfaces.

I got underneath and grabbed the shocks and they moved a little, springs and bumpstops fine and everything else seems intact so ordered a set of shocks, there wasn't a lot out there but managed to do a bit of research on a cheapish set called "Drexler G-Force" seem to get good reviews so went with a set of those for £30 delivered. Ordered at 6pm on a friday night and arrived at 10am Saturday morning as the seller was "in the area" Can't beat that for service

Fitted them last night, and all is well again, even gave her a lesson in what she should check under the bonnet and where for fluids etc, she's only 19 and her boyfriend is a bit of a sap, my brother is more than capable of helping her but chooses not to and Mom and Dad are divorced so no chance of him helping

I feel bad for moving so far from home, I feel like my fingers not on the pulse like it used to be. I worry what goes on when I'm not there and worry that if I was then I would be able to resolve some issues before they even become issues. Not just car related stuff just "life" stuff too, she's been making some poor choices recently and I wish I was there to put her right I never thought I'd be worrying about stuff like this

Anyways her car is safeish for now, she needs 2 rear tyres as well which she is going to get done today after her Maths exam

Here's what you all wanted to see
