Hi all and @seasink
A while back a WoF indicated "Strut Mount play" this wasn't deemed a WoF issue, last month it was noted when we had a sway bar link replaced too but again said not an issue.
In the last few days we have noticed when driving a more noticeable, and now regular but intermitant scapping and or squeaking sound. It becomes more noticable with turning or breaking. The sound doesn't occur when accelerating (yet). If I rock the car side to side we can hear it although sounds different to when one is driving and being inside the car with the engine running. It seems to be on the right hand front side.
1. Could this be the advised "strut mount play" has got worse?
2. I had a look in my venerable ServiceBox and its unclear which repair procedure applies to strut mount play, can someone advise
3. What is the applicable part or could it be as simple as something loose being tighened?
4. Is it a safety issue (so we can prioritise if urgent)
