[s-cars] 2-Bennett camber plates rattle

[Serge Filanovsky]

Tony, 
Did you JUST throw the plates on, or were they part of a suspension upgrade?
In other words, did you change things other than the strut bearings?

I installed those plates, and put in the Eibach springs , and had the car
aligned (the sub frame was moved to get the car closer to spec). Since then
I have been chasing down an bad suspension noise. I have replaced a faulty
spherical bearing slider (the black piece) which had some play, no
improvement. One of the Bilstein inserts blew after a month and I replaced
it hoping it was the problem, no improvement. I think its in the subframe
mounts/bushings, that's next on the list.

Let me know what you find, and I'll do the same.
