It might be that one of the barn door catch/latch things need adjusting a tiny bit.

I run the standard VW hangers, didn’t like the look of the multi position ones that came in the kit, sits just right at the rear for me

I never thought that the original hangers might offer the correct ride height that I like. I will offer the original hangers up to the multi point hangers and see if they do as you say. Cheers.

@ broadmoor, I know it sounds obvious but have you checked your side jack? I have to tighten mine quite often, it rattles like a swine when loose

Hope you find the cause mate. Rattles are very annoying! Can’t understand anyone who says “just turn the radio up”
