I have a new "rattle" sound from my right front side. I have new tie rods and its not like that sound. Its a litle deeper sound and the sound is only when driving on hard bumps/pit. If i use the brake the sound is gone. Is it the ball joints that need to be replaced? they are old.

Could be a hub bearing. Using the brake stabilizes it.

Could just be the brake pads rattling around.

it dont sound like loose brakepads, its more like tie rod sound. Would balljoint make that type of sound when they are bad? I have new grease on them so maybe thats why it sound a litle difference. Would using the brake stabilize the nuckle?
The bearings are old too, so it could be that, but i dont see how it could make that type of sound, should i go for timken or is there a cheaper alternative thats ok to use, if i should replace them?
hm. maybe its the trackbar? I just remembered that i didnt replace any bushing/tierod on that.
Since my steering knuckle are realy rusty and there is deep marks where the brake pads are in contact, should i replace them or fix them?

Bustedback

Worn control arm bushings will knock when striking bumps.
