Just noticed this sound when going slowish over the sort of speed bumps at shopping centres. Could it be caused by the heat? Car still drives fine and rides over bumps the same so maybe they just need some grease? The sound is at 4-5 seconds

Could not really hear it in that video but I am at work with crap speakers. But you sure its not something like your swaybar D bushes? I know mine would make a noise when I went over speed bump etc. then I greased them up and its quite now.

Its surprisingly hard to video :(. My sway bars are only stock so I didnt think they'd need greasing? It only seems to do it when i go slowly, that could just be as the noise happens faster though. Might have to get a Victorian to have a listen

 

Should add its only the front left coil over which does have pillow ball mounts

They seem to have sorted themselves out. I'm thinking it was just the heat
