    there are already 3 scuds including mine that has a front shock rattling noise. the rubbing noise is so loud it sounds like the car is gonna fall apart.
    I suddenly develop that noise at 1k miles, others seem to have the noise around that mileage too. Official dealer says its a screw on the shock thats making the noise, but it is not loose, it was just out of spec, it drives fine and dealer assures its not a safety hazard, but the noise is much more than ur typical interior rattle.
    2 have tightened it at the dealer and develop the noise later when it lossens up. So, when it was my turn yesterday, i had noise in my right front, but they use screw adhesive after they tightened the screws on both front shocks and now its fine.
    All is done in about an hour, and i was busy inside inquiring about the new GTO so i didnt take pictures of the screw in question. But im sure most if not all scuds will encounter this problem. Luckily my dealer has experience with this, so im cool now.

    now good time pics from the last week :

    I have a F430, same issue here, my dealer told me was the metal bushing hitting each other and the cure is putting grease in between, but the noise comes back every 3 months I say.

    is there a better method to just permantly get rid of that noise???

    not sure about 430s, but scud have this issue is common.
    the 1st ones were fixed just by tightening them, but noise came back in a month or less of driving, so now they used screw super glue on mine and let see what happens.

    This could be that you had changed your Scud the whole suspensions.
