The noise is definitely coming from the right strut and is getting louder every day. Ruled out everything else. By shaking the spring I notice a very slight bit of play. When I hit the spring just with my hand I can produce a slight rattle in the strut.
I replaced the struts with Sachs non gas struts less than 2 years ago. I would just hate to replace that mount and find out its a defective shock.
Also, what happens if and when these mounts break and what kind of damage might result?
And finally, I heard Scantec parts are mostly junk. Are there any decent aftermarket manufacturers out there? Where? and whats a good price to pay for them?
