Drivers side front end rattle
2003 F150 68k Miles Roughly 3-4 months ago began getting a rattle in the drivers side front end when driving through parking lot at low speed. Especially noticable on uneven pavement. No I have begun to notice hte sound when hard breaking (exiting off the interstate) Once you get over say 20mph noise is not prevelant.
I have taken it to my local sears to have it looked at, they found nuthin.
truck came off lift noise gone for bout 3 days.
Took it this week to a shop that deal primarily in front ends ran it up on lift both looked at it coulnd't find anyting that looked outta whack. Little bit of play in brearings but not enuff to get worried about. No leak (gas running down side) in shocks, although still original and should be changed soon but they seem to be ok.
Left lug nuts needed a little torquing. Truck came off lift noise was gone for 2 days and now is back.
I'm about to pull all my hair out cause I can't for the life of me figure out what the deal is
Somebody HELP!!!!!!

never heard of a rattle. is it more of a squeek? can you bounce on the hood and get it to squeek? i had the two rubber bushings that connect the stabalizeer arm to the frames squeeking a few months ago. take off the tire, remove tht two mounting bolts behind tire to the main frame and antisieze the bushing and reinstall. if it is actually a rattle, i cant help.

My '99 4WD F-150 has a rattle in the driver's side frontend also that you can hear driving at slow speeds on rough surfaces - had the front end checked out - they didn't find anything. If any of yall has ever had the rear bushing on a radius arm of a '70's F-100/150 to wear out where you get a metal-to-metal bump, that's what my '99 sounds like.
