CDR_078 Member 87 Member For: 13y 4m 14d Posted 27/02/13 12:11 PM Share Posted 27/02/13 12:11 PM (edited) So a couple of weeks back I had some SSL's fitted all round. Now it may be totally unrelated, but over the past few days, Ive noticed a hollow rattling noise from the passenger side front area. Only noticeable over rough surfaces or bumps at low speed. Its not loud, but its highly annoying in my otherwise serene cabin! Any ideas? 20,000ks done.

Jack it up and take the wheel off and have a look around Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84153-king-springs-fitted-now-got-an-annoying-rattle/#findComment-1367381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDR_078 Member 87 Member For: 13y 4m 14d Posted 10/03/13 01:38 PM Author Share Posted 10/03/13 01:38 PM Right, so turns out nothing to do with the springs and the noise is very irregular - only does it on selected roads and surfaces. Wilkos couldn't find anything but it's definitely still doing it. Had a thought after looking underneath today.., could it be the bumpstops? I notice they're a bees dick off touching the bar????
