Ok so, I am fixing up my boyfriends cobalt while he is in Missouri doing his military training.

So far I have replaced...

Sway Bar Links
Wheel Barrings
All Rotors
All Brakes

There has been a constant rattling sound in the front end on the passenger side when going over bumps. It doesnt make the sound when traveling at high speeds on the highway...
One mechanic told me is was the wheel barring.. So I replaced that, Next one told me it was the sway bar links, so I replaced those.. then someone told me it was the CV joint or Drive shaft.. I dont want to fork out more money when no one seems to know what it is.. So I was just wondering if anyone has had/heard that same noise and figured out what it is?? It's driving me crazy!!

I still have to replace the front bumper and have it painted.. but would like to fix that noise before he gets back!

 

check balljoints,control arm bushings,endlinks,outter tie rods,shocks,motor mount, in that order, if replace anything, go with moog parts.

 

I have the same thing going on, there are about 8 causes possible

 

go with the control arm bushings

 

For me when I had those symptoms it was the swaybar end link .

 

I had another mechanic take a look and he said its the lower control arm and bushings.. Anybody have a link to the parts I need? I have no idea what I need to get..

I believe I had the same noise that you discribed. The Chevy dealer replaced my front struts and the noise was gone.

 

I have the same thing nit on my drivers side. Im guessing it would be the same thing tho right?

 

Rear lower control arm bushing.

 

Mine has a rattle from the passenger side wheel area overtime im turning left at slow speeds and accelerating any ideas ?

 

Sounds like a broken strut mount to me

 

Its lowered with eibachs that wad my guess strut related thanks

 

Did you check/replace the sway bar bushings?

 

I haven't done anything yet going to see if they can swap me back to my stock springs and replace anything broken

 

Easy way to find out if its the strut is hrab it and shake it, if it moves it broken
