Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Clattery front suspension, just changed drop links, no different,any other suggestions? Thanks again.

POST 2Original post

have you standard disc's ie not floating are you sure ARB drop link nut is still tight, they go loose quite easy is it clunky (deep) or clattery (lighter)

POST 3Original post

I had a low speed noise that only occured when hot and it turned out to be the steering ball joint. £50 plus fitting.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Standard discs, drop links just fitted. It's a light clattery sound.

POST 5Original post

Long shot, but pads are ok? Pad shims can clatter (if you have aftermarket pads with shims).

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Noise sorted, it was a broken front n/s coil spring. Bloody potholes.

POST 7Original post

Blimey didn't expect that! Was it not pulling to one side and uneven?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeh it was Steveoz32.Must have been compensating for it.

POST 9Original post

Fair enough, at least it's fixed and was nothing major
