Hi. Noticed a sort of tapping/snapping noise from the rear which I originally thought was the roof until it still did it with it off. I've since found I can replicate it by pushing down on the driver's side rear wing (other side's fine). Any idea what this is likely to be? Strange thing is it's just as much likely to make the noise on smooth roads as bumpy ones. Cheers.

Cracked spring maybe? They can look OK until you look at every turn closely.

Otherwise, droplink or anti-roll bar bush would be where I'd look.

^^^^^ What he said. The ARB brackets are known to crack/fail as well.
