suspension problem

[picklesayrshire]

went to move the car today, hasnt been started for a month now, had to jump it. trouble is when i was moving off its as if the car lifted up and there was a loud clunk coming from the offside front i think, anyone have any ideas wot this could be, thanks.

seized strut?

Brakes seized slightly. Would almost bet a knacker that thats what it will have been.

thanks would this mean replacing the strut as i have been planning that anyway.

as for the brakes could i just remove them and give them a good clean etc.

Wouldnt make too much difference to be honest mate, especially during the winter when theres so much road grime and salt about that can builld up on parts coupled with surface rust on the disks from lack of use its just natural really.

Mine did the same yesterday after only a week parked on the drive, once you have a decent drive out everything will free up again on its own :)
