Rattling front end

Whats up Maxima Family, just wanted to provide a cause a symptom I was having with rattling from front end while driving over potholes or uneven pavement. For 3 months I had a rattling sound when I hit potholes. Well after new struts, mount plates, new sway bar links, new Michlien tires,

I found it to be a stupid freaking small bushing on the Passenger side Brake Caliper lower pin. Even the Nissan dealership couldnt find the problem. The kit was 15 bucks for a rubber bushing, man was I pissed when I saw the size of the bushing that caused me a major headache. So check Caliper bushings if u never change calipers before.

thanks, and might as well throw this in here, another common cause of front end rattling is the catalytic heat shield,

I forgot to mentioned. I have 130k with original stock calipers, so I guess it was time for the bushing to wear thin on the caliper pin.
