Gap in the bolt in the steering
Gap in the bolt in the steering
Alright I've been having a rediculous rattling problem for a really long time... its not struts, shocks, springs, sway bar + end links, ball joints, etc.... today I found another little thing that could be causing it but I'm not sure if it is or not... there is a bolt in the steering that has a little gap, both on each side, here is the picture.... let me know if it's right or should be tightened and could be the cause of my rattling...


oh yeah and the steering shaft has been replaced too, so that's not it.

Where exactly is the rattling sound located ?
Check the clearance on your down pipe from the steering rack.
I had a car that the down pipe touched when coming to a stop and idling and was fine while driving.
You could actually feel it in the steering wheel.

It rattles when I go over bumps at slow speeds, when I turn it has a little clunk sometimes... while at high speeds no rattling what so ever and everything is fine, even over bumps... only when you go over slow... if I'm driving on a rocky surface it just rattles like a **** until I get to the flat roat.
wo, i was cleaning up my engine bay today and thought the same thing about the same bolt, it seemed to be loose... thats only one of my suspension probs though..dont know if that will fix it or not, ill have to work on it more this weekend.
it didint do anything, you probably need a new steering gear hope you got warranty
