Default something loose in my suspension...

I was driving in a bumpy road yesterday with the windows open and on each bump I hear something rattling from outside. Sounds like something loose in the suspension. The car is alomost 4 months old and already something is falling apart. Has this happen to anyone else? thanks

Default Check your struts for wood blocks...

someone here took their car in for service and the idiots installed a wood block inside the suspension...

Default i think upon further review - that gut was full of sh**. He did a bad install himself

and he was trying to get it fixed under warrtanty.

as far as the noise - could be anything from a bad strut to a loose heat shield

Possible that plastic "shipping spacers" in springs were not removed pre-delivery. Happened to me.
