here is a pic, there is a rubber seat and the bottom of the coils are covered in rubber tubing. if its missing, they will make a lot of noise.

i also have this noise, however im not on swift springs. the previous owner put on some tein springs. I did an inspection on the strut and everything seems fine.

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.

Strut could be blown. I would take apart and see if their is pressure/stroke in the piston.

I will re-check them again.

If strut blown, what do you recommend? buying new bilstein or new coilover?

FYI, there's no bilstein HD here in Thailand and if i want one, i have to order them and it costs more than some MINT condition coilover.
and also, there's no Official bilstein revalve service here.

please advice

thanks
