Hello all,
I'm trying to track down a rattle I'm hearing when accelerating and right after I start the car that I believe is coming from the front left.
I'm only able to hear it when inside the car, but it's extremely loud and sounds like something hitting something else really fast (Maybe metal on metal?). Also it gets a lot worse when it is raining.
I replaced my balls joints and sway bar end links this weekend and the noise is still there. I inspected the left engine mount and it looks okay from inspection, no cracks or anything.
I checked the control arm bushings, and they don't seem blown out or anything, but I'm unsure how to check if they are the culprit. I have the bushings for those, but as per usual, I lack all of the tools to replace those bushings
Anyone have any ideas?
