Default When going over bumps in the road I hear this sound from my front suspension....

When I'm driving over bumps in the road I hear a sound that is very similar to loose change jiggiling in your pocket. Took it to the dealer and they couldn't reproduce the sounds becausse the roads over there are freshly paved. *sigh*

Any ideas?

I've experienced the exact same "loose Change" sound. A lube job does it.

Default i'm getting that sound too (m)

i've had it a few services ago and even mentioned it, but they couldn't reproduce it. since then, i've lowered my car. think they'll still look at it under warr.? what's the cause of it? i thought about it for a while and it might sound like the front brakes squeaking for a split second. sounds like that at least...

It means all the bushings are sealed and have no lube fittings.
