08 ve maloo driving sounds..

[STV35]

hey guys, ive noticed sounds coming from the front of the car when going over bumps on the rd which only occur sometimes. It sounds like a mountain bikes chain rocking around when going over bumps lol.. The car was lowered with king springs and left with the standard shocks about 4 weeks ago..its been doing this sound for the last week...today it went into the suspension place and everything got checked and seemed fine as everything else under the car they said.They took the car for a drive and it didnt make the noise.... which I expected because on the way there it didnt make that same sound even once... Ive done a search on here on what it could be but im not to sure ... since ive been told everything on the suspension side is good..

Does anyone have any idea what it could be causing this????

Strut bearings??

hmm they got replaced as the standard ones were buggered. Sorry forgot to mention that.

could be ya brake pads vibrating. When ya hear the noise lightly tap ya brakes and see if the noise stops. Mine was doing this and was fixed under warranty once we finally worked out what the noise was

I could only hear mine with window down and doing less than 60km
