What I did was go round all the suspension springs with the thinnest oil I had, and put some under the bottom of the suspension springs where it rests on the Mc pherson strut, and just sprayed up inside the covers on the rear shockers . The noise disappeared. I think what happens is components dry out where they interact with metal surfaces.
Thanks ! I'll give it a try tomorrow !
