Strange rattling noise coming from front end when I go over pot holes and speed bumps, any ideas ????

    Most likely one of your springs. Don't take my word for it but probably the suspension. Maybe wheel bearings (just a guess), you'd have to have it looked over though to get a definitive answer

    Top mounts, tie Rods and anti-sway bar bushes seem to be regular culprits too

    That's work and parts you could be changing for no reason.. Your easiest best is to actually diagnose it. 

     

    I've spent £200 on driveshafts, gearbox oil, brake sliders and other bits and pieces to get rid of a knock. Turns out the engine mount had been left loose when I changed my engine hence a FREE fix. Wish I'd taken the time to diagnose it

    Did you upgrade the bushes to poly or just use the OEM ones?
