my suspension is getting worse. its a rattle nocking noise from both sides oover rough surfaces. started off slight and now is quite harsh. about half way between the two i took the car to monkfish and they looked it over and said it was fine and it was just the walkinshaw suspension being noisey. it sounds now like the suspension is hanging off. any ideas? i think somebody had similar a while ago but cant find the thread or if it had a outcome.

Mine is getting worse, people say it sounds like I have planks of wood underneath? and the noise is coming from the passenger side between the door and the front wheel??
at speed there is no problem, it just happens at low speed over rough road.

same. mine is both sides though. may just change out the suspension for some pedders. will not be happy if that fails to solve the issue though.

standard 19 inch and only 30k on the clock. the worst noise is on the rumble strips when coming into or out of a speed zone, on speed bumps its on both sides.

I seem to suffer from creaking noises and rattles galore on mine since having Pedders setup installed, but I do have it set up fairly hard. Best description I can give of some of the noises is that it sounds like the chassis is twisting and flexing. Only noticeable at low speed on bumpy roads. I've become numb to it now.

have the car off the ground and when wriggling the wheels off could hear the knocking. seems to be the steering rack. anyone replaced a vxr8 one? seems to be lots of monaro changes.

Hitman had an issue with his the bolts securing the rack were not right enough, once I tightened them up a bit the problem didn't return smile
