I get an awful metallic rattle clunk sound coming from the front, I replaced the droplinks which were knackered anyway, but still no cure.
It's a very heavy rattle sound that as soon as you hit a bump makes a proper rattle , almost like you've left a toolbox open in the boot and all the sockets are loose.
I've gone around witha a heavy pry bar around all the bushes and arms and I just can't find anything loose enough that would justify such a rattle!

Most common is loose swaybar mounts - check those first.

Then check that the top of spring/strut assembly is not loose.- or has broken holddown bolt.

Was just going through the cars paperwork and spotted on the last service it was noted that -
Outer tie rod bearings have slight play.
Would this cause the issue?

I didn't see anything odd when on the ramp but this slight play report is from a Porsche specialist who sees nothing but Porsches everyday....

I think it's a good starting point. It was bad enough to get an advisory on an MOT.

Lies nothing loose inside the protection bag with the spare wheel for instance?

Driven with the boot empty :(

Im thinking inner tie rods or top mounts now. Everything else is so tight.
