suspension rattle source found!! Posted by pete [Email] ![]() ![]() |
I posted about a week ago an suspension rattle issue with my wife's '99 9-3. You may recall that I replaced everything for the front suspension (springs, struts, spacers, bellows, stut mount, strut mount bearing, wheel bearings, tierod ends, control arm, stanchion bushing and steering knuckle). These parts were in addition to the water pump, all hoses, clutch that I did at the same time.
Reassembled everything. Car had an annoying rattle going over bumps. I checked the swaybar nuts to the linkage (as suggested, thanks!) and they were tight.
So I popped the round plastic cover off the driver's side stut mount and pushed down on the front of the car. There was the rattle! It looks like the strut mount internals (where the strut nut is) has some up and down movement in it. So now that I've found the issue, the question is, what is the fix?
