Hey guys, I haven't been here for a while. how's everything?

Anyways, I've been noticing more and more that rattling noises are coming from my front wheels. When I go more than 50 miles, I don't hear it.

I hear the noise every damn time, especially on uneven roads or bumps.
I had the struts replaced 2 years ago, and I don't know wtf.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

I had the exact same problem! It was my Control Arm Bushings, there were just worn out...

Super cheep to fix, just got it done at my last oil change, it was like an extra 30 bucks..

I had my front struts replaced two years ago, and
my rear struts and strut mounts few months ago. And now this?!

Ok I will stop bitching. Does any one know how much it's going to cost me to replace the front strut mounts if it is the problem?

it would be surprising if they put new struts in with out mounts... seems dumb to me. (well maybe job security)

I think it is your homokyneet (i'm not sure it is the right word)

If you make a trun the sound must change.
