Front suspension rattle, anyone know why?

[mjcaskey]

Hi.

I have a 997 s, 4 years old, 28k miles, UK spec.

The front suspension now rattles over small ridges or bumps, car drives/steers fine and handles well enough. Nothing to notice at higher speed, only at low speed around town.

Is there a common reason for this?

Dealer says the spring support pads (either end of the springs in the struyss) tend to wear through and the solution is new springs and pads.

They originally sold me some new drop inks for the anti roll bar but now say this will not solve the problem.

Anyone know?

I have a front end rattle which ended up being the air conditioner line on the drivers side at the base of the windshield near the battery. The line goes through a grommet and into the car, the line was adjusted so that it wore through the grommet and would rattle. It was a hard item to find.
