As far as spraying, I just took a can of the stuff and sprayed it in every visible crevice. If I got excess anywhere, I simply wiped it up with a tissue. I'm not sure how much this really helped but it's worth a shot and I don't think you'll hurt anything. A couple things that really helped me though were padding the locks (which destroyed my actuator ) and placing rubber washers under the screws for the armrests (mine were cracked). Another thing to look at is under the plastic casing around the back of the steering wheel. This probably isn't the case with you but I had some missing/mismatched screws in this area. I did my best with it and it seemed to improve the problem slightly. The biggest problem area seems to be the top of the dash. If I pound my fist amongst the bare area, I can hear tons of rattles. Not sure how to get under there though. Seems like one would have to take the whole thing apart. What I'd REALLY LOVE to do is soften my overly hard suspension. It's so hard I feel like I'm running on wooden rims. Other SVXs don't seem to be like this for some reason. Dave.

Rattles more
i'm going to check out my rattles taking into a/c your hints, I can drive around with my 19yr old son upside down and in and around the interior searching out the noises and we'll see what we can do..
My main areas are the back shelf, the doors and around the steering wheel...I thought that some of the noises could be associated with the after mkt alarm they fitted to the cars in Oz, the wiring seems pretty crappy and for the stuff I can see and touch its just flopping around metal and plastic not tied into any other wiring that it follows.. Any way I'll see how I go, thanks for your tips David R
