Know today parked in the city all day wife and I jump in and bang immediately its back. We changed over and its definitely coming from front passenger side. Dropped wife off at her mums and drive home and its gone again. It doesn't do it over big bumps or sharp bumps or at highway speeds really slight bumps cause it. Thought maybe seat but it sounds like its coming from outside and we can move and wriggle and move the seat and no noise. I'm going to get a suspension place to go over the front passenger side and check the brakes as well. But its weird that it needs someone to be sitting in the passenger side( Me 80kgs and wife 65 kgs) and it been quiet for 2 months. I bet it wont do it for another 2 months. Its a high pitched squeak as well. Any ideas? Edited 28/12/13 09:46 AM by gsd112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove around for about 10 mins nothing then it gradually got worse know its knocking/rattling and banging and squeaking.You can feel it through the passenger floor. I was going to go to Autotech tomorrow but not going down the freeway with it like it is. Checked all wheel nuts and they are fine. Seems to be worse when braking. Will either see Pedders or the old Wholesale suspension shop. Its weird it was 2 months to the day that it last did it yesterday and about the exact same time.

Sound like the front passenger side is going to disembark from the car, but only after driving for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove down to Pedders and it was creaking rattling the whole 9 yards. Went for a drive with the mechanic just to check and it was gone. Lhf strut mounting plate is a issue and the diff bush is not the best and the right rear tyre had a massive cut in it. Got the rear tyres replaced and the tyre guy said that the front left suspension had a bad noise. Drove straight back to Pedders and thankfully it was still there. So he is 99% sure its the strut mounting plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
