Just thought I'd share this from my experience.
I fitted a lower strut brace a while back, all good, no issues. Then after a while the car developed an annoying vibration/resonance that initially I thought was my new exhaust rubbing on the body.
Turned out the engine/gearbox had 'settled' a bit on its mounts and was touching the lower strut brace, transmitting a lot of vibration into the body.
Currently my 'solution' was to jack engine up a bit and put a few wraps of silicone rubber around the brace bar where it touches the gearbox. All good, but eventually it will need a bit of surgery with a hammer I think.
Anyone else come across this?
