Gerard:
Check the large round cap (threaded cap)that secures the "shock
absorber" (cartridge) to the suspension strut, it is round and must be
tightened very securely.
if above Ok, ....Next ...you may need to replace the strut
bearings...they are not visible and located under the strut bearing
plate ( not the camber plate or strut mounting plate).
Requires strut removal !!!
