its in the same place on steering when on full lock left/right. Checked and cant find a bluddy thing wrong. Thought it was alloys to start with, bad fitment, but it abvisouly isnt. And it went for a mot 2 weeks ago and according to them only needed a mid/rear exhaust and 4 tyres........ Its very loud when driving to....... Whats the top mount bud when its at home..... cheers |

Top mount is at the top of the suspension. i don't think though that the top mount would make that sort of noise (i may be wrong) it sounds as if something is catching or rubbing on something else in the suspension. |
