Suspension Rattle

[97ponygt]

I have a rattling noise that sounds like it's coming from right behind the dash on the drivers side. It happens when going over bumps all the time and has been getting fairly worse. I can't hear it when I have the windows rolled down so I'm not sure what to do.

Anything I can do to try and pin point it more let me know.

Can you replicate it? Try pushing on the window glass, shaking the dashboard, etc... if you don't hear it perhaps it is suspension related. Get the front of your car up on jack stands and start grabbing and moving suspension components to see if you can replicate the sound.

Ok I confirmed that it's not an interior part and it sounds like it's metal to metal coming from the caster camber plate area. Any other ideas?

First thing I would check is the nut on top of the strut.

Yeah, defenitely check your strut nut. If you have one, take an impact gun and tighten it up. After I installed my springs I didn't get mine all the way down and it made a banging noise when I went over a bump. Tightened it up with an impact gun and noise is gone.

Yep it was the strut nut. Thanks everybody
