Front End Rattle
Its been about 2-3 months with a rattle in the front end. ive checked ball joints and tie rods. It seems that there is slack where the front Inner CV joint meets the axle. The Axle will move up and down when you push on it.
Any ideas cuz the dealer cant find anything.
Thanx Kenneth

What about your sway bar links? I had mine in the shop and they couldn't find anything, I took it over to the neighbor, we took the tire off and then you could see that part of the bolt was missing. The bushings and spacer were still there so you couldn't tell it was broken unless you were really looking for it.

I only glanced at it but i guess i should look into better, but last time i checked i think they were all good, as well as the bushings.
I would check it now but they have it at the dealer trying to get it to make the noise.

I was thinking the CV joint but it doesnt make the cliking on turning like a bad CV joint would. Are there any other signs that a CV joint would be bad.
