Default EG hatch - go over small bumps and front suspension has little rattles

93' EG Hatch B18C5
Tein Coils 10k miles
Brand new OEM UCA's (upper control arms)
Brand new Hardrace full bushing set
5k miles inner out tie rods
Really good condition engine mounts(oem)


Okay so I change all this **** on my car(above) because when I go over small bumps the suspension on my car has these little rattles, really hard to explain. It feels like something is lose in the front in of my car and it won't go away. I know there is an issue because my friends with EG's don't have the same issue, their **** is smooth as butter over small bumps and big bumps. Any idea's? We can't figure it out, neither could my local mechanic. No accidents with my car, clean title.

Also, I have no power steering on my car, but after I changed my UCA's my steering is smooth, almost too smooth(easy is a better word), is this a benefit of changing out UCA's?

Anyway I'm at my wits end with this and I'm seriously tired of spending money trying to fix the issue. Btw everything is torqued to spec.

Thanks in advance broooo's oh oh.

Have you checked the exhaust heat shields?

good call I've pulled my hair out years ago looking for a strange sound like something was loose in my front end , and turned out to be a heat shield .. I also had a loose o2 sensor that gave almost the same sound
