Front suspension rattle

[Gary Cundliffe]

I've got a rattle on the front suspension thats doing my head in!

Normally only felt or heard at low speeds and i'm sure its drivers side only. Only little bumps cause ot and its as if something is loose and it rattles after the bump. Its almost like scuttle shake but from the suspension area.

In tracking it down i've replaced-

Rear wishbone bushes (inserted in solid S3 items)
Shocks and springs and topmounts
Droplinks
Tyres
Subframe bolts and a ECS tuning spacer kit
Numerious alignment checks

Arb bushes, balljoints and track rod ends checked and also checked by a specialist and found ok.

When parking sonetimes I need to go up a gentle ramp, and you drive into it at an angle, and as soon as the OSF wheel touches it you get a clunk.

Also the steering clunks when moved side to side in the dead ahead position but that also happens on my old mans 2007 B6 tdi. I'm unsure what to do next but thinking I have a steering column or steering rack replacment on the horizon.

Its a 2009 R36 just out of warranty!
