hi i have a clunking knocking noise when going over bumpy road, that mysteriously turned up after i fitted new brake pads.
i have re-done the brakes so not them.
I have checked all the suspension and its all lovley and tight, except the top mount nut (under the rubber disc and nut which covers it).
So to explain again, to get to this nut, you remove the big 18mm nut on the top of the strut tower and remove the rubber bung thing, to gain access to the strut top mount nut, which is 18mm too, but cruicially, not a locknut. - now this nut keeps coming undone, despite me torquing it up correctly.
anyone else suffered this? fitting a new nut isnt that straightforward as the strut would have to be taken off the car id imagine and dissasembled and reassembled and refitted?
what you think?
thanks
