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 ?

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

Thank you, this is what I've been looking for.

 

No problem, i have to do mine too, sounds like someones popping popcorn under my hood when going over bumps
