Front wheel rattle...ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Here is the deal I have replaced the Front UCA's/Wheelbearings and the lower ball joints.
The front wheels on my hatch rattle well the passenger side rattles more
whenever I go over a bump/pot hole or when Im driving and taking curves you can hear the wheel rattle sounds like its coming from the top of the strut mount where anybody else had/have this problem bfore if so how was it fixed?
Could it be the strut tower boots?

Re: (MR.RED'89)
flip the tire/wheels with the other side, sure it isnt them? i mean if they are punctured or overblown (dont know the word for it), they could throw off the disproprotion and rattle..

There should be rubber bushings between the mount for the strut and the strut tower(frame,body) whatever. If they are worn real bad or missing there will be metal on metal.

Re: Front wheel rattle...ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (MR.RED'89)
is it just a noise? no feeling thru the wheel or chassis? a metallic "ringing" noise, that is very irregular and comes and goes? if so, i know what it is. its the hub ring that is sandwiched by the axle. it must have popped off, they come off easily and have nothing but friction keeping em in there.

Its probably #10 in this photo. Its a nylon bushing that holds your steering rod centered in the rack. When they wear out, everytime you hit a bump sounds like you struts arent bolted down on the passenger side or something is loose on that side.

I say the same thing, mines doing it now and every thing else is tight. Grab the inner tierod end and try moving it up and down or side to side, it should move a good bit.
