Not sure what to search for. When ever i drive over ruff surface eg un even tarmac, the passnger side suspension seems rattle. The wheels seems to be firm with no play? any suggestions. The car is on coilover think ap brand.

Have a double check on your wheels aswell. My cars been feeling a bit 'heavy' and been pointing towards top mounts which may still be true, but had tyres fitted today and found out one of my front alloys is buckled!! Feels crap but still firm.

If the alloy was buckled wouldnt it be vibrating also on even surfaces inc rough surfaces :confused:

Just to add, what top mounts do vmaxx coilover have, will standard ones fit? thinkin of replacing the worn ones.
When removing the top mounts, do i need to compress the springs or can i just screw the bolts right off for the mounts and will my setting get alterted?

Guna pick a set of top mounts from gsf and fit it over the weekend followed by the new strut brace.
