As you might know I have been playing around with bits & pieces on my Legnum.

Now I have change everything at the front end including replacing the standard shocks with coil overs because of an annoying rattle.

Took it for a spin & no noise at all!

I put the standard shocks back on the front only to have the rattle back.:sad3:

The noise was not there when the coil overs were fitted, so it has got to be the standard ones.

This noise is apparent on my v6 sport too which is the same sound.

Apart from replacing the struts again is there anything that can be done to remedy this most annoying sound please?

Also is it the top mount that is making that noise were the shaft goes through it?

coz the suspension on these things have too many moving parts to work properly.
