Passat (B5) :: Front End Rattle Or Clanking Over Bumps And Cracks In The Road

I have this front end rattle or clanking. It happens over bumps and cracks in the road. The rattle seems to be more on the passengers side to under the middle of the car. The stats of my Wagon - lowered on Bilstien Sports/H&R springs. All The control arms have been replaced back in 04 and maybe 40k miles ago. Drive axles were replaced once a long time ago, before it was lowered.

Scion - TC :: Rattle From Front Wheel Over Small Bumps

I have a 2006 Scion tC, 109k miles. I have a rattle coming from the front-right wheel area. It's only over small bumps (I mean SMALL, like little dips), and I can't really re-produce it on a jack. It happens more frequently when I turn to the left. The frequency of the rattle sounds similar to a paint can ball, but if it were a lower pitch. I'm thinking of checking the the strut mount, or maybe the end link?

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Shake Through Steering When Hitting Road Cracks

My 02 F150 4x4 at times gets a shake through the steering when hitting road cracks, pothole fills, etc. Would installing a steering damper system work or am I missing something to check in the front end. Ball joints are good, all steering linkage good, new shocks all around, control arm bushings look good and don't seem to shift when prying with a bar. Also changed all sway bar bushings and links. Maybe the control arms just have to be changed with 103,000 miles on it even if they appear OK? What about using an aftermarket steering damper on a stock F150? My long gone 82 GMC 4x4 had one from factory but it was also a solid axle setup.

Ford - Explorer :: 2002 - Thumping Sound Occasionally When Passing Over Small Bumps In The Road

I recently did a brake job on an 02 Explorer, consisted of new pads and rotors (Rear). The Slide pins were fine and the piston was not frozen in the calipers.

Shortly after the Explorer will occasionally make this "thump...thump....thump..." feeling/sound.

It is not vibration.... it feels more like passing over small bumps in the road.

It is most consistent from 30-50mph, but I have felt it from 20-65.

It is more prominent on decel, but you can feel it on accel as well.

It makes no difference if you touch the brakes or not, or if you push the clutch in and/or take it out of gear.

Speed does not seem to effect the timing of the "thumps" it appears to be the same from 20-60mph. I'm at a loss...

Passat (B6) :: Noise From Front Suspension When Going Over Small Bumps On Roads At Low Speeds

I'm getting ready to do some maintenance such as flushing the brake fluid, new air filter, and changing spark plugs. I've noticed lately a noise from what I'm assuming is my front suspension that can be heard when going over small bumps on roads at low speeds. It sound like a squeaky spring, almost like something needs to be oiled. I'm still on stock suspension with close to 80k on the clock, so I was wondering if there is anything in particular I should look for when I'm messing around the wheels bleeding brakes, or if there is a common procedure to lubricate something so the noise stops. I can hear it from inside the cabin so I imagine you can hear it from outside the car.

Upper/Lower ball joints

Tie rod ends

I did not touch the leaf springs or the sway bar, except to grease the links, which otherwise looked good.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Front End Rattle When Drive Over Rough Places On The Road

I have a 97 F-150 4wd and when I drive over rough places on the road you can hear a rattling noise. It also causes my truck to thud loudly. But also as I just coast at about 10 mph with the window down you can hear that rattling noise. Almost sounds like a washer sliding on a shaft or something. You can definitely tell something is loose in the front end when i hit rough places. We've jacked it up and tried to move the wheel and the bearings and ball joints seem tight.

2008 Subaru trebeca suv with only 62000 miles, when going up a slight incline in drive you feel quite a shudder like you were driving over small bumps on the road. This is my daughters vehicle so she phoned about 400 miles from were I live & told me what I said above. I told her it sounds to me like the torque converter is not unlocking. And if it is the converter not unlocking would that be a very expensive repair ?

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Door Panels Rattle When Car Runs Over Small Dividers On The Road?

I've got a 2010 elantra that's pretty mint still, but for some reason the door panels rattle either when listening to music with a good amount of base, or when the car runs over anything (like the small dividers on the road).

Its pretty annoying sounds and I am curious if its just mine or if other elantras have it as well (2nd owner so I have no clue if the cars always done it ).
