An annoying and loud front rattle especially on concrete roads. Suspect the OE front strut top mount. Rubber suspended flat washer with tiny ball bearing race above, in thrust. Spacer 14mm ID 19 or 20mm OD 12.5mm long Flat washer and 22mm AF nyloc above clamping the whole lot together Bought new Febi unit, no better, seems to have more 'play' than a 30 year one.... Tried shorter and longer spacers, no difference Tried bigger diameter spacers, no difference(ie 19 to 20mm OD) Am I just unlucky? Or is there some magic I'm missing here somewhere? Help or comment appreciated Jon
what about if you lightly press the brakes over the bumps, maybe pads wobbling about? On my MK2 I had similar and it was a chunk of broken spring sat in the strut, but I suspect you will have noticed that
I'm missing the washer under the top hat. Many thanks, that may be all I need.... Had enough of these to bits over the years to know.... Old, failing memory LOL Jon
No, no difference, but thanks for the input. Found it. No anti rattle springs on the front calipers, so it was the brake pads dancing around. Surprised, relieved etc Jon Motor factors tomorrow morning
