rattling noise front end drivers side while going over bumps

[computertech]

Cant feel it in the wheel, but can hear (and its gotten louder over time)
a rattling noise only when going over light bumps in the road......

Shocks ?
Sway bar link ?

I`m heading to my buddys shop @ 10am, so we`ll see......

Might be time for an upgrade....

Any suggestions ?


thanks in advance :burnout:

Could be the front sway bar end link(s). It was on mine!
You need to have a hand on the link while someone pushes down on the front of the car to feel the play in the link.
Moog makes greasable replacements.

Sway bar end links. Mine did the exact same thing when they were on the way out.

Now, if I could just track down the weird clicking sound at about 5mph from the drivers side.......

Thank you brother Paul, much appreciated, I am next in line for the man now and we will give that a test....

Is there a local dealer that sells Moog that you know of ?
