So I've had this problem for a long time...there is something on the driver side of my front end that is rattling, some days it doesn't do it at all, some days it sounds like my wheel is going to fall off. Its a very tinny sound that only happens when the suspension cycles (unlike a bad U-Joint, where the sound comes from the shaft moving), so I thought it could be my brake heat shield, but that thing is as solid as the rest of the parts. My U-Joints on both the axle shaft and the drive shaft appear to be fine (the cups aren't separated and it all moves like it should) , but I've decided to change those anyway in the near future. I've even checked my control arms for cracks, but those look fine as well. So I took this video that shows everything on that side, and the only thing I see is that the sway bar moves around in that mount a lot. I'm not sure if that is the problem or not, but it doesn't seem to be. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

 

Nice job on video. Looks like sway bar bushings.

 

Haha sure enough, the ones that I have found on the internet aren't oval like the ones on my Jeep. Those things are worn out! Thanks for pointing that out!

 

I dont know what I am more shocked by, the sway bar moving around or the fact that it is raining! its in the dang 90s here in ca lol

 

I know, of course when I get in the mood to work on things, it has to rain/snow. Damn Colorado weather, we were in the upper 70's the day before this haha
