I’ll see if I can give this a try.

Different versions of the R&T have had noise issues due to a material change to an internal bushing. This is an “FYI” - it doesn’t have to be a blown damper to make noise because a properly functioning R&T can be noisy. I can’t recall if any of the different R&T f8x iterations used this bushing. The fix was having Ohlins rebuild the damper with the old bushing design. I’ll check to see if any of the f8x iterations had this issue.

I can’t hear/feel anything with the car sat still but I’ll get my wife to put her ear up to the mount and try that haha.
Over the last week I can definitely notice it the most when going slow having the wheel turned to the left, adding in an angle (like entering a parking a parking deck) seems to make it more noticeable. It’s not a loud or harsh noise, it’s really hard to describe. Best I can think of is like a slight creek/rubbing noise. It definitely feels like something is moving/shifting but not in a large enough way that things are breaking?
