Hi all,

This is really bugging me now after having lots of work done under an insurance claim. I was told by the garage I brought the car from that I had damaged the underside of my car, namely the subframe and swingarms. One swingarm was making contact with the subframe and causing a knock when I went over bumps. In short, my insurance paid for a new subframe and swingarms, along with some other related suspension parts. When I received the car back, the knocking had gone but I can still hear rattling - like the front is all loose. It really sounds like the callipers and shoes are loose.

I have the ceramic break option so not sure it that is of any relevance or anybody has had a similar experience?

Also - there is a ticking noise that can be heard from the cabin when the car is idling. The revs also bounce up and down like it struggles / about to stall but then it pics up.

Its a 2008 GT Speed.

Any help at all would be gratefully received.

Cheers...
