>Was driving the SIIA SWB today and noticed it has develoed some sort of

speed....
Could be the springs banging back and forth in their shackles. My SIII
did this from the day it was new, so I learned to ignore it. However, this
generally occurs at lower speeds while cornering sharply, say turning into
a parking space. It also gets worse in the rain, as the water splashing up
onto the springs "lubricates" the bushings and bolts and makes the movement
easier. This might not be what you're experiencing, but it's a pretty common
phenomenon. Range Rovers do it too, although it's a different sort of bushing
that's banging about.
