I've noticed recently that when I'm going slow and go over any little bumps, or if I'm going slow and turn the wheel back and forth, that I have a sort of rattle coming from my front shocks, or something in that area. Has anyone else noticed this? I have about 13,000 miles on my car.

Also, has anyone noticed that the friction point in their 6 spd seems a lot higher than when the car was brand new. It may be in my head, but it just seems awfully high for a car with 13k on it.

I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.

The suspension rattle you have is normal. Many of us have the same thing; I drove myself crazy for about 1 year going back and forth from dealership to dealership trying to fix it. It's annoying as hell but you're gonna have to live with it.
