I tightened upper and lower nuts on the front sway bar drop links and only one was slightly loose (loosely speaking haha).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

12 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have got a rattle up front that for lack of better words sounds like a spring lose in its perch. You hear/feel it going over small bumps. I have pulled the wheels off but I don't see anything obvious loose. Any suggestions? It seems to come from almost the center but leaning towards the drivers side.

POST 2Original post

I'm having the same issue in the front and found that it was my sway bar links. You can't tell if they're loose or not when it's all done up so I undid mine and then you can feel a slight play in them. They're not to expensive to replace or hard if you have the right size tools.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That is in the right area. I will put her up in the air and check it out....

POST 4Original post

ditto on the sway bar links, I even found the nuts a bit loose where the link attaches to the bar, snugged them and less noise, but still get it.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Where is the best place to buy parts nowadays? None are stocked local...of course.

POST 7Original post

Sometimes things can come loose inside the area between the fender liner and the actual fender. If you remove the fender liner you can find that loose item.

POST 8Original post

+1 for drop links... Sunset is good and if you want OEM links.. try ebay (seriously) to check just knock the end of the sway bar up and down... you should hear it if its the drop link

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They don't seem to be as stiff as they should be. I ordered a set and will see what happens. Thanks gang!

POST 10Original post

swap out takes about 20 minutes each for the first timer... no alignment required

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I tightened upper and lower nuts on the front sway bar drop links and only one was slightly loose (loosely speaking haha). The noise is gone. So when the new ones get here I will install them for good measure. Thanks gang.
