After hitting a bump in the road the front wheel area seems to rattle when going over a rough service or bumpy bit. I have an idea on what it is but just for other users references

Yeah I think it might be the anti roll bar or something like that, shall have the wheels off on Saturday cleaning so will check it out then. Yeah front drivers side was ok untill i hit a deep dip in the road. Think it knocked my balancing out aswell.

I had a quick look and couldn't see anything on ARB but it did it again this morning and it sounds plasticy like the arch liner banging against the inside of the wing. May take it out this weekend and see if its the cause.

Sounds like an ARB link. Grab the anti roll bar, near to where thelinkage connect and pull up and down, there should be no movement, if there is, replace it.

Check your droplinks! My car made these sounds for ages after my coilovers went on then eventually a drop link snapped! Get the front wheels off and have a look

More to the point, if his top nut is on his leg...where is his other one!? Tucked in his socks?



Glad you got it sorted mate
