Hi Clifford,

It's funny, I've been trying to track down a slight, erratic knocking from my front left side. You can sometimes reproduce it by pulling the top of the wheel. I can't find anything visible wrong, so was starting to think along your lines of the bottom of the damper moving inside the strut.

I fitted these dampers about 8-9 years ago, and seem to rember a rubber cushion at the bottom of the strut, is this correct? Could that have broken up?

Thanks
