cheap aftermarket mounts from e-bay mate

I had issue with the cheaper ones would start rattling after a week or so, try genuine ones they are not that more expensive.
I first thought it was top mounts, so I changed them for febi GSF units, it sorted it for a few days but came back (I realised while coilovers were off, I sprayed WD40 on them, so it was that what fixed it.

Try the spraying first, you don't have to remove the coilover, just remove the rear wheels.

Check for any loose brake calipers....

I had a rattle for ages and found out the brake caliper had come loose from the hub  :laugh:
