Ion Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Rattle is independent of hitting bumps in pavement. Have determined that while driving, rapidly turning wheel in both directions can cause rattle to occur...aside from it randomly occuring on its own. Any suggestions? Bushings? Bearings?

hjb981 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Try to see if you can hear something if you rock the car from the outside, with the engine off. You can also see if you can hear something with the engine on and the car standing still, at different rpm:s (maybe it does not have to do with the suspension parts, since it is independent of bumps etc).

firefoot0315 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 My stabilizer links rattled independently of bumps etc. I couldn't actually trigger the noise when I was trying to diagnose it with people. My mechanic set it off riding the center stripe in the road, but otherwise it seemed to come and go as it pleased. No matter where you go, there you are.

Ion Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Replaced the swaybar link kit for each side (stabilizers) and rattle went away! Thanks for your input! This is the very first time I received a coreect answer on the first try in here! Kudos to those of you who made the right call! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
