Yeah when you have a knocking/rattle like that, ANY other noise the car makes dissappears ;)

Mates...

When You do decide to fit them, it's not necessary to remove the rear wheels...

That's if You can jack the car high enough, to get Your arm in and depress the shock enough to fit the sleeve...

That would save You heaps of time and effort, for such a simple job... ;)

Metal Sleeve Part Number: 90 334 270

Hopefully it solves Your rattle issues as well...

Taking wheel off gives you loads more access to the job though :)

Yes Mate...

I only took the rear wheels off, as I wanted to inspect the ABS Rings, Brake Pad levels and wash the wheels! ;)

Yeah it's good to give the rears of the wheels a wash every so often.....wax em too while they are off :)

*My pair of rear top mount sleeves arrived today, but not had chance to fit them yet...more than likely be Monday :)

Are you fully polybushing or just certain ones?

The ride can become VERY harsh on polybushes.
