Are you sure it's from the rear? I had this EXACT noise, rattle and squeak and it was the anti-roll bar loose. 19mm nut IIRC and it was moving forward and back and squeeking and was rattling like no ones business. Tightened it up and it's all good.  :cool:

The thing is it's just on the rear right hand side. And it sounds like it's coming from the the rear quarter/strut top. I'm seriously starting to think it's the axle bushes, even though it's coming from the strut top.

Could it be the axle on that side, sending the movement up to the strut top? Thus making us think it's coming from inside the car, at the rear.
Are there any other components that could cause the strut to make such a noise?

I'm running a Jamex suspension kit, approx 60mm.

Yes rear top mounts or if it has been put together wrong.

Just been out had a quick look.

From what i can see (which isnt a lot as the car is obviously low) and bad light, the shock on the face of it looks ok. obviously i can only see 10% of it so reserving judgement on that

pushing the car down from the boot, i carnt replicate the noise, and theres no abnormal noise from the shock

pusing the car side to side, i carnt replicate the noise, and theres no abnormal noise from the shock

i apreciate that when riding along the road the forces are going to be greater and different directions.

Im going to take some of the trim off tomorow do a bit more digging, otherwise when i get my exhaust done next month i will get the garage to have a good look over the setup of that shock/area.
