 Having really enjoyed 3 years of trouble free 'wafting around', my 56000 mile C6 has been in 3 times to cure a mystery rattling apparently coming from the front end. It has had new pivot supports, front lower swivel bearings (all worn out) but still the rattling over bumps. Any ideas please as my Citroen specialist now suggests turning up the radio - not why I bought a C6 !

 Have they checked the anti roll bar links? I had to replace one recently following the symptoms you describe. Also while doing it, found play in an inner track rod and replaced that as well!!

Regards,

 Does the rattle tend to only happen when you're turning corners?

Say, for example, turning into a street with an upward slope?

 No, the rattle is there whenever the road is not absolutely smooth.

 When I had my 6 I experience the same problem and it turned out to be the under tray was loose. Easy enough to check.

 have you replaced the anti rollbar linkages if the ball joint has worn you will get a loud knocking over any uneven surface. have replaced my rears twice and only just 50000 miles. they are inexpensive, but get european manufacture not china copies. try rockauto.com US site but supply from UK

 Ball joints have been replaced, will check anti roll bar links, track rod ends and under tray after Christmas. Many thanks for all your suggestions - I will post the result.

 we sometimes get what we think must be the under-tray fluttering when we come over a small rise as we're approaching a T-junction - not looked, but suspect it must be made of some sort of textile fabric, at least in-part ...
