Hi everybody, I hope someone can help me out with little problem I have, I replaced my rear discs and pads and noticed that one of the coil springs had snapped, so off to euro car parts for some new ones.

I obtained the following part Sachs coil springs part no 627722720, these are listed for my Astra H 1.9 Sri year 2010, now after replacing them I get very bad knocking sound going over smallish bumps and sleeping policemen, as there was no arrows or lettering to show which way they should be fitted, I believe can they be upside down? so I turned them and still getting this knocking sound, also noticed when cornering at low speed it knocks?

Dose anybody think I may have damaged the subframe bushes, by pushing down each side to remove the springs, I did this using a small jack and only pushed it down enough to remove the spring.

Any ideas to what you think I may have done wrong.

Many Thanks Steve.
