156 suspension rattle
Hi I have a rattle on the front left suspension, similar sound to metal tapping against top of strut when going over bumps. I have checked the damper, springs and arch trims but cannot find where noise is coming from. Has anyone had similar problem? thanks Steve -- quinny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ quinny's Profile: http://www.usenetcars.com/member.php?userid=6906 View this thread: http://www.usenetcars.com/showthread.php?t=706122 |

156 suspension rattle
Hi There
Have you checked the Anti-roll bar tie bars, they give a similar sound as you describe when worn.

I had a strange tapping noise following a service and found the undertray hadn't been tightened up properly. I even fixed it myself Cheers Tony |

Quite normal for 156's and simple to exchange. Use the optional harder ones that are available. Stiffer suspension and they last longer. -- Ciao from The Netherlands alfistagj (aka Gert-Jan) GT 2.0 JTS (2005) Montreal 2.6V8 (1428700 - 1973/4) |
