Anyone else got really noisy top strut mounts?

Only notice it this week after my car was sat all weekend n drove it Monday,

It's on coilovers n never had this problem before..

Would you say I need to replace them? Or grease or sonething similar?

Shed some light someone it's doing my head in

I have the same problem at the moment. had a rattle/knocking on the rear for a while now and just recently developed the same on the front. I have bought a new set of coilovers so when i fit them i'll be checking everything to see if i can solve the problem. I'll post my findings

I've got my standard ones modified so there really short..

I'll have a look at that aswell this weekend..

Could I grease up the rubber mounts tho? Just sounds like there twisting when I turn just really noisy in the mornings

Strange!

I get the donk too im just hoping it related to being so low..

The noise I'm getting is a sqeaking noise not so much grinding
