Nope, just that there are occasional "pong" sound when going over hump quickly or braking too hard.

Maybe your exhaust pipe a bit loose, banging against chassis?   :confused1:

Same here, mine is also about 4yrs+, front shocks are harder than the day I got it. Mentioned to AS during 70k km servicing and they told me my shocks are jammed. :confused1:

Update on my shocks at AS.

Labour for front $40/ side and $20/ side for back. Back shocks are still in optimal conditions by I change it since I am already at it
Ride feels better than before while on OEM shocks.
