Shake-Rattle & Roll

Please Help! Everytime I go over even the smallest pot hole it feels that my front right wheel rattles. It's not loose, I pulled on it. ??? 93 XLT

It could be a couple of things:

1. A worn ball joint

2. A worn tie-rod end (is the steering unstable as well?)

3. Worn anti-sway bar bushings

4. Worn brake caliper pins

4. Worn anti-rattle clips on the brake pads

Had the same problem with mine, the clips that hold the calipers in place were worn and the calipers would bounce around. New I put the clips in upside down and everything is quiet. The proper thing to do is to get new clips, but when in the middle of now where!

Thanks for all your help. Now that the snow has melted here, I was able to find the problem. Right side tie-rod. Re&Re and now no more problem.
Thanks again!!!!
