Sonejis GTS-X had a loose top nut as well, wandered all over the shop but surprisingly it never made any knocking noises! |

well i discovered mine by taking the weight of the car on a jack, but not lifting the wheel off the ground, then grab the top of the wheel and heave in and out and keep an eyeon the nut on the top of the strut to see if it is shifting in the mount...if it does, then out the strut comes, compress the spring, retighten the nut |
