rattling noise coming from front left 98 tahoe

[montec313]

i had this noise start out by once and and blue moon then it does it everytime i go over a bump regardless if im turning or going straight. it got worse when i hit a curb playing around. rim is not bent and everything looks alright. it is really anoying and very loud. have to creep through parking lots just for it wont make the noise. any ideas???? gonna look at fixxing it this weekend. need heads up. too cold to be playing around outside. lol

I would check the brakes and bearings ...

loose sway bar mounts, bushings or wheel liner? any loose items is storage under hood.

Looks like the upper ball joint on the left side is going. Ball looks like it's coming out n the boot is ripped

[SunlitComet]

easy fix then.

[brooks93]

mines doing the same thing. did you ever figure it out

[montec313]

ok i replace the upper ball joint and the shock on the drivers side. it seemed tio calm down. but there is still a poping noise coming from under neath the front when i go over bump. it does it to when going down the road turning the steering wheel side to side. any suggestions.

i found what the prob was torsion bar link is broken. drivers side

[SunlitComet]

ouch. I hope you meant sway bar link.

[montec313]

no it is the link at the end of the torsion bar in the back of the vechile. the part was 37.00 from the dealer

Okay I know which one you are talking about now. I bet that will be fun to do.

I have seen that the Bushing on my control arm is pretty warn out and I am thinking this is the culprit of my noise I am having, might wanna also check that out if you haven't.
