Hi all

I have for some time but seems to becoming worse this horrible rattle from the front passenger side wheel area, I have has new coils, drop links, inner tie rods, arms, bushes, top struts and shocks replace in the passed 18 months but still have this blooming rattle, I have had it checked out by two different garages who say it is nice and tight and sound, so I suspecting its the top strut bearing that has gone on that side as its the only thing thats hidden so suspecting its that, is there a way of checking this without removal, as paying £50 and it turns out not to be the case is a pain.

Colin.
