IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE IT COULD BE AS I AM GETTING ANNOYED NOW WITH THIS NOISE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!|||Possible knocking strut insert.


This happens occasionally on saxos. You need to remove the macpherson strut, remove the spring, unscrew the cap at the top of the shocker body and remove the shocker from its case.


Pour some oil into the case and refit the shocker so that some oil comes out around the top of the case. Rescrew the cap and refit everything else.





The noise is caused by the shocker rattling inside its case slightly, filling with oil stops it from moving.


Notoriously hard to track down.
