So I have a rattling in the front end when I go over bumps and I cannot figure out what it is at all.

I've replaced just about the whole front end: struts and sway bar linkages (last year so shouldn't be bad); a-arms; steering knuckles; bearings; and outer tie rods all within past couple of months (wiggled inner tie rods and there was no looseness so can't be that).

Could it be my brakes rattling around? The pads and rotors are both in good condition. Maybe the shoe is letting the pads rattle around?

I'm pulling out my hair on this one. Can anyone help???

 

Oh I have a 2001 Volvo S60 T5 2.3L with about 223,000 miles (and still strong as ever)

 

Are the bolts to the subframe tight?

 

The bolts to what component?

 

The bolts to everything my friend. Control arms, subframe, sway bar etc

 

Yeah they should all be at the correct torque. I just replaced pretty much the whole front suspension a month ago (did the struts and sway links about a year ago).

 

Turns out it was the sway bar links. I bought them March 30th, 2014. Won't be getting that kind of link anymore. Good thing FCP has a lifetime warranty
