How to stop the rattle in the front end.

[Heart Stoppper]

Just put a tie wrap around the caliper rod and the bottom of the shock tube on each side. Rattle is gone.

Just a rattle don't have to have somebody ride behind me and pick up parts. NO THANKS

I don't have a front end rattle, but when I drive over a bump or large crack in the street I sure have a 'thug' sound from the front wheel area. Sure bugs me. Anyone else experience that?

 

[Heart Stoppper]

Not sure but sounds like the same noise. I only noticed it on small cracks or a brick driveway.

 

[ti-rouge]

could it be your left caliper,,,,moving (try rear pedal and if the noise stop then it is the caliper)or steering bearing!!!

 

[Heart Stoppper]

Not sure if you are joking again? Is a galiper the same as a caliper south of the border? And having trouble finding which one is the rear pedal. One goes and one stops.

 

[ti-rouge]

sorry,, i am not jocking,,, i mean caliper,,,,and foot pedal!!!!

excuse my english,,,,,

Lower your front shocks by one click each and go to 38-40 psi in the front tire. It will help a lot !!

TOMG I can see you are not haveing the same noise STALL and I are having. Did the shock and tire some time ago. If u shake the caliper rod like on mine there is no doubt that is where the noise is coming from. Not trying to find it anymore. Just stating if you have this issue two rie wraps did the trick on mine.ThumbUp

Thanks Heart, that might do the trick. I'll try and get to that today. ti-rouge, here I thought I was going to have to get the owners manual out to figure out where that rear pedal was!

Has anybody with the rattle tried to adjust the rods to take out the slack??

And I was more talking about the jolt of hitting bumps/manholes to adjust the shock and tire.
