Hello everyone,

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with suggestions of a possible source for a mystery rattle when I'm driving my 2002 VDP.
When I'm driving normally, there is a loose rattling in the front right of the car when I drive over small bumps. We have not been able to locate it, nothing appears to be loose.
We did replace the shock, no change.

I know this isn't much information to go on, but maybe someone has solved a similar mystery rattle?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

I would empty the glove box, empty the tool kit under the front hood and see if that makes any difference for starters.

 

Change the Sway Bar bushings easy job to do also did you change the bump stops when you changed the shocks check the shock bolts, upper shock mounts ????

 

Normally it is the upper shock mount. Available in either straight shock or electronic from bunches of suppliers, vice dealer. Some have found motor mounts have worn out to be the cause. Back a while, you might remember, a member had a loose steering pump . . .

 

Upper shock mount or arm bushings

 

Thank you for all your input so I'll get it up on a rack and check all those bushes again we did change everything related to the shocks when those were done but I'll have a look at everything else that's connected

 

It was the upper shock mount :0)

Took off the shock and drove it.. No more sound.

A HUGE Thank you for all the help :0)
