The front suspension has started rattling on my wife's A210.
Its mainly over smaller "stutter" bumps & poor road surfaces.

Should i suspect anti roll bar drop links, or something more sinister. . . ? :neutral:

Certainly the roll bar drop links and the rubbers on the bar are the first thing to check and not expensive to replace.

That looks like something I can do on a Saturday morning. . . :)

If that doesn't cure it - whats the next thing . . . :neutral:

Bottom swivels or some other component, best checked with an iron bar and levering for any free play
