I've been getting a f*cked up rattle from my front end for almost a month. My strut bearing and top mounts are shot and they gotta go. I also plan on replacing all my front end bushings. Besides the sway bar and frame bushings are there any others and, where can I find a write-up on replacement?

Try a "high speed balance" first for both front and rear tires.

And what about the bushings?

at what speeds do you get the rattle ?

LILMAN

At any speed. It does come and go though. I get even when I turn the wheel.

I've had some rattles for a couple of months now. My shocks and struts are still okay though so I can't see spending all the money on redoing the front end. I don't believe the rattling will cause any further problems, it is just the annoyance factor.

LILMAN

F that. This things gotta be fixed. I want to see where these bushings go and are there any others that I should change. My car has 135k on it I'm sure they need to be changed by now anyway. So somebody give me some feedback.
