Rattling sound when driving slow or going over bumps
Hey guys when I go over a speed bump or when I'm driving like 10 MPH I hear a pretty loud rattle that sounds like its coming from the front suspension. Any ideas?

Re: Rattling sound when driving slow or going over bumps
check your dust shields on the front beake assembly. mine are rusted off and the lil pieces that are left just rattle around when i drive ( only hear at low speed cause the wind noise is gone)

Re: Rattling sound when driving slow or going over bumps
I uploaded a video on youtube of the sound.
---------- this is me shaking the wheel back and forth, listen for the 5 clicks and imagine this noise twice as loud and 3 times as fast.

Re: Rattling sound when driving slow or going over bumps

Re: Rattling sound when driving slow or going over bumps
Does anyone know, can the upper ball joint be replaced, or do you have to change the whole control arm?
