About 14 months ago I put in some Neuspeed Sport springs with a 1.25" drop.

Also, I put in new Tokico Illumina 5-way adjustables.

Just in the past couple of weeks, there has started to be a noticeable rattle under the hood. I notice it most when the weight of the car is shifting, but not necessarily when the shocks are compressed under bumps or load. Times when I am turning, or braking, or going over pitted pavement that isn't completely compressing the shock/spring assembly.

This leads me to believe that it might be a loose bolt in the assembly. Maybe a CV or knuckle that is coming loose?

Two parts.

1) Has anyone else experienced this problem? What is the likely culprit? What will a dealer charge to isolate and fix? Can dealers even fix noises? Seems unlikely.

2) Does having a low-profile ride mean that other parts of the steering/shock assembly are going to take a beating and loosen or break like this?

Thanks guys.
