Did you do the work yourself?

Its possible the spring isnt seated correctly...

 

[zahoor]

yeh,but the car was serviced at and i told him to check if it was ok and he didnt find any problems,but he said something about lubricating bushes?

Did you align the triangle on the top spring seat correctly?

I had a knock first off, turned out i didnt tighten the top nut enough.. has to be quite tight so the topmount's firmly secure

Or the obvious haven't got the springs seated correctly/topmount arrow not lineing up.

Or the bottom perch rubbers are sque-ify

the springs looks firmly seated on and iits aligned well.the rear ones was making a noise too but it has quitend down.not sure wats the problem,do you think its dangerouse driving it like that.

Ditto mate - same with mine. That's why the new shocks were supplied with new nuts as well.
