Rattling/knocking noise

**Mike99TA** · 03-24-2010, 08:31 AM

I have a 99 T/A and whenever im on a somewhat rough road i can hear a rattling noise coming from underneath the front of the car. I've had it on a lift and couldn't find anything loose. I heard that worn out shocks can do this and I know I need new ones. What should I do?

Replace your shocks!!!

Then see if you still have the same problem

I would put it on a lift but since you have already done that I would take it to a reputable shop just to have it diagnosed and then do the work yourself if you know how. There are a number of things that could be causing the issue but most would cause the problem all of the time (i.e. bearing or tie rod) so I think theres a good chance your guess is right since you notice it on rougher surfaces

Mine made a little noice but stopped soon as I installed the KYB AGX's. Rides great now that I got the AGX's, new style BMR springs, and Spohn sway bars.
