Order the new spring retainers and we'll see if that fixes it lol.

I've changed my suspension could i ask where the "The nut holding down the bottom of the spring retainer" is located?

Andy

At the very bottom of the rear spring there is a sort of conical shaped lump of metal that has a stud sticking out the bottom that passes through the bottom 'pigtail' of the spring and through the spring seat with a nut on the stud holding the lot down. There is also a locating lug that stops the cone bit turning when the nut is tightened although that usually snaps off the moment you try to loosen it meaning much swearing with molegrips through the spring trying to hold the cone bit still !.. Not actually sure what the cone bit does as the spring is unlikely to go anywhere without it !

Mine Turned out to be the the anti rattle clips in the rear. I replaced with brand new ones and the problem has gone away.

Sorry for hijacking the thread and cheers for the help.
