Right, i seem to have another problem with my willy, but seeing as i know jack shvt about cars, i don't really know what it is.

When driving along the ride feels much harder and i can feel every single bump about 100 times more than usual. I hear the odd clunk at the rear of the car now and again and the steering feels abit wishy washy. :roll:

Any suggestions?

If it's a front spring then yes, it is easy. You will need a spring compressor though. Rear shocks are easy too.

With it all apart, give it a good clean under the arches whilst you are there!
