I have a suspension rattle coming from the left front assembly.

The only mod I have done is put Tein S-Tech's on.

The car is a 2006.

The dealer has replaced the shock and upper control arm but
the sound is still there.

I took the car to three suspension specialist and they all say its
the shock.

Problem is, the shock is brand new.

Whenever you hit a sharp bump the rattle occurs and sounds like
something is coming apart.

I have checked all other possible components to ensure that the sound
isn't coming from something other than the suspension.

Is there anyone that can shed some light on this problem.

It's driving me crazy.

Everything is tight. It's just making the same sound it did when I took it to them to begin with.

The dealer is clueless at this point. I have asked for second shock be
put on to rule it out.

I can't believe that the Tein S-Tech's could be the cause since I drove
it for about 4 months with no problems.

??????????????????????????

Only when I hit sharp bumps and usually at a slower speed. It sounds just
like what you would expect a suspension rattle to sound like.

If I had to guess, I would guess the shock myself, but since it was just replaced, I'm at a loss.
