Name that noise!
This week I swiped the '02 from theand have been using it for work.
One thing I notice is what sounds like a suspension rattle that I think is coming from the front end. It sounds like something is loose, but on further investigation last night I couldn't find anything wrong.
I'd like to track this noise down but I'm not sure where to start...
Anyone with an NB had a similar noise? The car is all stock with just an upgraded front sway bar.
I don't recall my '99 making this noise, but as most of you know cars don't make a lot of noise when hermetically sealed in the bubble.
TIA
Did you check the sway bar good?

I ran it up the ramps yesterday evening and it appears to be solid.Originally Posted by Sharpie
May pull the end-links it and see if the rattle goes away.
Missing spring clips on the front brakes? If so it'll rattle when you hit a bump.

Lightness? What's that? I drive a PRHT!
The LS big brakes on an '02 don't have clips do they??
Pebble in the brake caliper?
Bad shock? I think I have one on the Ranger that sounds like a rattle.
Have you checked the alignment bolts to see if you could turn them? Not that I would call that a rattle, more of a clunk.
Endlinks.
+1.

So I rolled it back up on the ramps last night pulled out my trusty dead blow hammer and found the rattle!
It was the passenger side endlink the nut on the swaybar was just a touch loose, tightened it up gave it a test run and so far so good.
I would like to add the OEM NB endlinks are Meh...

Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

Well there is that, I'm just still amazed the darn thing is holding up to the constant abuse.
I still fondly remember that day going through Gainesville watching that yeller car roll through the corner in full opposite lock. Heh. Not quite as funny as the potato incident, but close.Well there is that, I'm just still amazed the darn thing is holding up to the constant abuse.

Too late to help, but +1 on endlinks! BAM found one rattly one on my car after I gave up looking. I didn't mind being humbled, just glad the annoying noise was gone.
So where's thelink?
