If it works a little could be stretched cables, unless you managed to snap them!

Well after more miles than i care to mention over the last couple of weeks on car finding missions i thought i beeter investigate the RATTLE from the OSF strut. :huh:

The car has driven straight and true during this time, with no vibration  :cool:

However, it would seem as its sitting a lickle bit lower that it could be spring related  :undecided:
