If needed I'll shoot a little video. But here is what I found. The upper section is holding firm. I can grab the lower section just below the upper and move it, significantly. It looks to be moving inside the upper section. The top nut is tight (viewed in the front trunk), I don't see any movement there.
This is a shot of the passenger side. it is moving the most. The drivers side only moves slightly. Not enough to notice the rotor etc... moving like on this side. Of course it is the bumpy roads, turning in driveways, etc... that make the noises as I am driving. Say the word and I'll shoot a video. You can hear the clanking.  |
