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?

 

Is your wheel tight?

Anybody else please

 

bad hub?, bearings ?

 

I had the bearings replaced also the new upper control arms and just had the lower ball joints replaced

What HUB are you talking bout Civicsidude?

 

I have the exact same problem.. and its annoying me sooo much..

ive changed...
upper bll joints
lower ball joints
struts
sway bar link kit
sway bar to frame bushings
axles
inner and outer tie rods
rack assembly

next thing im thinking of is maybe upper strut mounts.. but other than that.. im running out of ideas..

sounds like the exact same thing mine is doing,

Its annoying to hear that rattle drives me nuts
Im gonna replaced the strut mounts I ordered them from the dealer already
Hcivic I'll let u know what happenes after i replace the strut mounts


Anybody else have anyother ideas?

 

the hub where the cv joints goes to

 

if u take out the cv joint bolt and shake the wheel while it jack up, so check on that 1

How do I check that?

 

Civicsidude u have AIM if so AIM me: Siderazeref89

 

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.

 

Tires are good I checked that already

Yeah im gonna be replaing those this weekend
Hopefully that will fix the problem

 

do you happened to have hubcaps?

 

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.

Is not the brake shield I feel the wheel rattle

Anybody else have anymore ideas on what it could be

 

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.
