Should Ineos sell Grenadier branded jacks ;) haha

Jesus (this isn't an abbreviation, and before somebody corrects me, it isn't your name either), do you want me to again spend money on something I will only use once in my life? :unsure: :mad:
Yeah off course how else would you gather too much shit you don't need :D

At the age of the average Grenadier owner any new tool has to be seen as an inheritance item - who doesn't want to invest in their children's future?

My current trolley jack must be nearly 40 years old and never spilt a drop of oil.

My words. In the past - that was quality.

My daughter will be thrilled to inherit a trolley jack.

Ken is Barbie’s boyfriend and he has blonde hair, blue eyes and a washboard stomach. I don’t know if he got his grenadier by now.

If you grab the large part of the shock absorber/damper does it move and touch against the smaller part that slides inside it ? How is the steering ? does it feel light. Is the damper damaged?

I did some moving, of the stabilizer bar and the shock absorber, at 0 km/h, and could reproduce the sound! It looks like indeed the inner part and outer part touch each other! See the video, at the end I clearly can reproduce the sound I have on the street, by twisting the stabilizer bar, pity I did move my camera at the middle of the recording, but I think the situation is clear.


I will have to ask my dealer and/or Ineos to solve this, because this is most annoying!

@DCPU : I saved some money, I will not buy a trolley jack. :devilish:

Ok sounds like the damper might be knackered. Back to the dealer it is then. They must love you 😂😂

Wednesday my car was on the bridge, and while the INEOS manager ("Arno") had a possible explanation for my "bell sound" that I doubt about, the workshop manager and his technician agree that it is probably inside the shock absorber (damper) itself: I hope the manager contacts Ineos and that they replace the shock absorber.

By looking at this picture I only can imagine it is inside the damper. Nowhere else is something to generate such a noise. It is not a single "Klonk" like it would be if something hits the rod, it os more of a rattle, like having six million nails in a sack.

Another thing I could i would check (don't remeber yet if you ruled that out already) are loose dust shields. There are thin metall plates, where stones like to hide just to make a squeezy noise while you drive. because they are thin and light and metal they could also generate such a noise, if they are loose.

I had already checked the shields, and while the car was on the bridge, the technician and myself checked almost everything, so this is ruled out!
It is inside the damper indeed!
