Name that knock - My Kizashi's Mystery problem
I found today that one of the lining guards of the wheel arch has become unclipped and warped out of shape so its sitting in loosely. I wouldn't have noticed it other than I heard it rattle when I closed my bonnet today.

(Often with McPherson type struts, the shock absorber is a removeable "cartridge" that can be replaced within the strut.)

Its hard to tell, he just described it as a factory fault within the strut, something to do with its alignment? I cant see any damage so who knows at this stage, ill find out more when I go back.

There's the breakdown. It doesn't appear that Suzuki just do an insert- you buy a whole new strut.
