going on, but no homework done... Need front "clamp" bolt that holds the lower strut mount, then rear shock bolts...

Regarding noise in the front >

I did have a loose cap securing the piston to the tube on one of my coilovers - that's probably not your issue, but check the drop link bolt connecting to the coilover - that seems like it made noise if not secured properly - can feel tight, but I missed the wrench last time; both of the two fixed, my noise gone.
Also btw, I didn't realize the clamp bolt was a stretch bolt - I need to order some asap; so much for looking up specs!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1577293.phtml">drop link connection</a></li></ul>
