Awkward Suspension Rattle

USDM-FG2 · 03-11-2007, 05:47 PM

Driving one day I suddenly heard a sound coming somewhere around my passenger front tire/fender area.. It sounded almost like rushing air.. I pulled over, no flat everything was good.. But now for some reason I hear like a rattle from where my passenger front strut/spring area.. normal suspension break in or what? Not really sure..

did you run over anything?

USDM-FG2 · 03-11-2007, 05:49 PM

No not that I was aware of at the time..

could it have been a rock? did you put it up on a lift?

USDM-FG2 · 03-11-2007, 05:57 PM

nah not yet. I know a rock would have just been like a ding noise but the air rushing sound was a good 2 seconds or more.

how long have you had the car? i'd take it into the dealership to have it checked. if you had a front lip kit added, it's possible that a clip or two was forgotten. worst case would be a blown strut, but if you're under warranty, you should have an issue w/ the dealership.

I have had the car since Early December. The car runs fine and handles fine theres just a little squeek coming from that one area.

my car was doing this but on the drivers side, it did it when it was really cold out for about 3 or 4 days, then it warmed up and stoped, no idea what it was but it sounded like the spring was rattling when i hit slight bumps in the road.
