i have just had my 306 up on stands and the front suspension is concerning me a bit.

Top plates that sit on top of the springs are moving, now i dont know if this is normal but from my experience from other cars this is usually fixed? the spring seems to have fallen off the plate so its not sitting correctly.

can some one point me in the direction i need to go please, do i need replacement shocks? bearings?

i know i need to replace the lower ball joints so i dont know if these are gone as a result of this.

any advice??

thanks in advance
