ive put up with this noise for quite abit now but i want rid!! only started when i fitted the coilovers..
its a very light knocking sound, and sounds like its coming from the strut tops..
theres nothing in the boot, exhaust aint knocking (as this would be louder) and it aint the parcel shelf as i took it out and drove round he block...
anyone else had this problem..

have you had to fit spacers so the wheels don't catch the struts?

play in top mount? wiggle the strut with the wheel jacked up and see if there is any play
