Mmmm mine rattles either side at the back and its defo like urs, on the top mounts, i thought about taking the back trims off, to see if it was the speakers banging about in there but havent.
I've lived with it but wud like to know what it is. Arent there 2 bits of rubber, 1 inside the car and one the other side?

I've checked this as well, its deffo from my top mount areas, i wouldn't say mine has got worse but i can defineatly hear it, more so on the passenger side. You defineatly put the rubbers back on either side?
Maybe mine have worn out......
The other thing i have checked is the spring, incase it was bouncing about but mine are zip tied to the axle, and at the other end of them they are on damper things anyway i believe.....so that 1 is ruled out!
I'm thinking of stripping stuff out the back so i can have a mate sit in the boot and listen exactly where its coming from, sure its not the tailgate lock/hinges?

Could be spring chatter, i find that spax tend to do this a lot.

it IS the top mounts.
I had the exact same thing with my apex kit, tho my FK's are fine. Bascally the replacement top mounts that come oon the spax/apex etc.. suspension has smaller bits of rubber than the GM mounts. This allows the metal bracket to touch on the car body and cause the noise.
Only way to cure it is to refit GM top mounts insteadof the ones on the new suspension, either your old top mounts if you still have them, or some new ones from vaux dealer.
