Rattling....front suspension?

[1QUICK85]

I got a annoying rattling starting on the front drivers side of my car. What are some things to look for when I get under my car to look at it? I am assuming something came loose and needs tightening? Is a stock suspension as far as I know beside some newer shocks. Happens at city speeds when I hit a bump. Thanks much, Nick.

****Check the sway bar end links. They are connected to the front swaybar. If the long bolt holding the end link bushings has broken, it will rattle like crazy when going over bumps.

check the shock bushings and the front body bushings...the ones at the front underneath the radiator support panel.

End Links

You described broken sway bar end links exactly. 99% chance the long bolt at the end of the bar on either side is broken. Get a high quality kit at just about any auto parts store - the ones with the poly cushions not the cheap ones - and replace the end links even if they look good. You'll notice the difference in handling immediately.
