Hi all, I wanted to start a thread to capture fixes for rattles and non-OEM noises.
In my case when I started modifying the suspension of my car, there were a couple of distinct rattles and creaking sounds from installation of height adjustable suspension and front end links. This lasted a good 6 months, however after a number of visits to the mechanic and trial and error fixes we were able to isolate the the issues to:
a) right wheel rubbing against a heat shield whilst turning (this required some bending to increase wheel clearance from the shield) and
b) faulty superpro front end links. I've since replaced with whiteline front end links and it has been perfect.
Hope this provides some additional diagnostic insights to people with similar issues.
