Hi,

In June I drove over a pot hole and was a loud thump (left passenger front side) as the shocks bottomed out. Now when I drive and turn right there is a shaking sound underneath almost as if something is shaking or loose when turning right. Took my car to Halfords in the UK and they said they said nothing wrong, however I am concerned that if I leave this shaking it could become big issue.

Any ideas what might be producing the shaking noise? Do I need new shocks in general as the ride is now very bouncy?.

Thanks.

There's a known issue with the shock tower bushings/rollers thing (that's at the top of the shock absorber) (I had to get mine replaced at like 50kkm).
That might be the source of your noise.

Ah right okay my Levorg is at higher mileage with the noise becoming apparent after 65000 miles. But tbh it was that one pothole which caused it. Thanks for suggesting anyway will get it looked it.
