I was just wondering if anyone has had trouble with the Tokico Illuminas 5-way adjustable shocks. I'd never really noticed any problems until recently. When I'm on a moderately bumpy surface such as during lane changes. I get a wicked rattle coming from my passenger side strut tower. I've checked everything. Everything is tight. I ripped apart the whole interior panneling trying to find a loose screw or something...nada.

After I did all of this. I realized that with another person...say 250 pounds in the car, the rattling stops. I haven't had the struts very long. I was just wondering if anyone else had had problems with bushings or something inside the actual shock going wrong. :dsm:
 
Could be the mounting points themselves going bad, or other suspension pieces not torqued properly. The fact that you add weight and the problem seems to go away seems to point to something not being tight or worn.
