If all rattles are gone will I be pissed off!
That means that my newly serviced Monos are rattling!
We'll see!

From simple road miles I think the Golds may be a bit crashy but it's hard to say with such limited miles.
The Monos would come into their own on track when they really get a work out.
When I had Pro-Techs on track and all damping was lost after a session, I felt them and they were red hot to the touch!
The Monos have never failed.
For the record, my Monos have done over 30K miles.

Bugger Done less than a couple of hundred miles on mine...
Done over 30K on mine so don't worry! Done less than a couple of hundred miles on mine...If it is a matter of the rose joints, it's a half hour job to replace them at most. I've already pressed a couple out.
I'll call GAZ on Monday and get a set put in the post.
All is not lost although I have wasted a lot of time looking for the culprit!

Not sure about the mono's now Peter, on the 'rear suspension' thread Daz say's there 'absolute rubbish'.
Ah, the old GAZ rubbish scenario.Daz had his problems and a set of Nitrons sorted him, who knows.
As to the Monos, after tracking with a set of Pro-Techs, the Monos were a revelation, never, ever playing up, going soft or throwing up some sort of fault.
That was with 30+ TDs so if the rose joints have a little play then I'm not surprised.
My only gripe is that when they were serviced that they didn't pick that up. On the flip side, they are still smooth and if is very hard to detect any play.
Maybe I'm just fussy!

The rattling has gone!
The only thing i can think of is that the monos rose joints have a little play.

bloody doorcards apart...

if the car is stone cold for the first maybe 5 min. no rattle. rattle occurs when suspension is moving but mainly with zero throttle. above around 40mph its gone fully. it sounds like a rattle knock. its not the diff or prop shaft ujs. rear droplinks have been replaced. i suspect some wishbone bushes but not sure.
the gaz golds of my T350 made zero noise in the T350 so maybe worth a change.
was it something similar on your side ?
