   hi there to all at sax p... i recently fitted a spax psx 40mm drop suspension kit to my 2002 vtr.. although very happy with the looks and the handling this kit has given me, i am pulling my hair out over a rattle from the front end since fitting the kit.! the rattling noise is triggered by even the smallest of bump/joins in tarmac/even the speed camera markings painted on road set it off!! i have replaced both wishbones/drop links/track rod ends and have moved power steering pipe trying to cure this rattle but it is still there doing my head in! can anybody help please before i go bald/mad!!! hope someone out there knows the problem!

   I had this problem with the same kit, was rattling on the passanger side and getting worse all the time, turned out to be a dry bearing causing the shock to unscrew itself.
