There are some wierd rattles coming from my sussy. The front sounds like there is something loose wobbling about, and there is a wierd vibrating sound coming from the rear, but it only appears on smooth bits of road?? :confused:

I know I have to replace the shock mounting bushes, but could this be a cause, or is it something else? Is this a common thing for other lowered EK1 drivers out there?

I just went for a drive in a mates EJ8, and everything is tight and smooth as, no funny sounds, so what is wrong with mine??

No. I have king super low springs and koni 'sport' adjustable shocks, and recently replaced the LCA and a couple of other bushes with polyuerethane ones. No rear sway bar, front bar is stock.

Have you had anything in the suspension recently changed?

Some bushes increase noise vibration and harness (NVH), which is just more road noise.

Also, have you checked everything is actually tight?
