Please help Love reading this site . I think I'm going mad, over the last year as I drive over rough roads, and I hit close bumps, my 2009 SX6 Sportivo[MY10] sounds like a noisy strut if possible or something is loose. I paid Pedders to do a suspension test and they found everything to be perfect yet they also hear the noise. I took the car to the dealership, and he told me it was the tyre slapping the road, yet you never hear it from the right side It isn't the tyres, as new ones have been installed and haven't made any difference. The car is now out of waranty and has 38,000, never been smashed and babied. I have pulled off the front wheel and found the inner plastic guard bolts slightly loose, strut bolts and suspension bolts all tight and yet still doing it, mainly after driving for after 1 hour periods not 10 min drives only and always worse if the roads angle is steep towards the gutter side This car is perfectly quiet on smooth freeways
