First off i have KYB GR2 and Suspension Tech springs with a 1.5 drop. With that said, there is a ratteling noise coming from the rear pass side as if something is loose. I thought it was the strut that was loose at the strut mount but i checked and it was tight. Then i looked underneath and couldnt tell what might be loose. It rattles when i go on dirt roads or a small bump and such. It is only on that side and i think only on the rebound because when the car is parked and i push on the trunk it doesnt but when i pull the car up i can hear it clicking. I started to think that it might be that the spring is just a little smaller than the strut and making in rattle in there. What should i do? Put like piece of metal in there to get rid off the gap or something? OR is that not even it. THANKS, adam.

 

bump.....anyone?

 

i got the same issue with my front passenger side. coincidently i have st springs as well i have learned to ignore the noise...
what you do is find a piece of spring wrap. compress the spring and add the additional material to the top of the spring. that should shut that bastard up. i'll do this too, when i'm stop being so lazy that is

 

where can i find this spring wrap?

 

try asking someone in customer service at www.shox.com they seem to carry just about every suspension part under the sun.

 

thanks for the info

 

My car was making similar noises under the same conditions. It turned out to be the radius arm bracket. The bracket is bolted to the bottom of your strut with 2 grade 7 bolts. The right side bracket was missing a bolt and the other one was loose. The left side bracket had both bolts but both were loose.

 

They sell, not stock.

 

i will check the radius rod just to make sure what it is...thanks
