specialB Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I think i've narrowed it down to the swaybar in some way but thought id throw it up here anyways and see what you guys say. Whenever I hit a moderate bump in the road with one of the front wheels, I get a quick rattle. But when I hit a bump with both front wheels simultaneously then there is no noise. But either wheel alone and its a significant rattle. Its been like this all winter and I haven't noticed it in the warmer weather. I did install my sways back in november before it got real cold out.

choppedair Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 More than likely a loose sway bar end link or bushing. I would almost bet money it is a sway bar end link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialB Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have aftermarket solid endlinks in the front and I wouldn't be surprised if they were the source of the noise. I'll have to get under there sometime and check it out before I lose the sucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longislander1 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I had a strange metallic rattle on the right side, mostly when the right rear tire would hit a bump. The dealer found a nice hunk of gravel rattling around in the suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialB Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 The noise is becoming more frequent. got under the car today and was shaking the endlinks with my hands. the passenger side endlink is loose. The bolts on the swaybar and the control arm side are both tight though. http://www.fredbeansparts.com/catalog/218_medium.jpg they're similar to these i forget which brand. but the black unit sits on like bearings on either side and its the black piece thats moving while its still tight on either end...
