Front Suspension Rattle - Continued.

[Caddiso1]

Update on that original post. One clunk is fixed but an annoying rattle still exists.

Neither I or any suspension shop can figure it out.

Wasn’t sure if anyone here has heard this rattle and can give me pointers.

What’s been done:

OEM:
New struts, new mounts, original upper control arms, tie rods, and sway bar.

Steeda:
PP Style lower control arms.
Adjustable sway bar end links.

You may need headphones to hear it. It only happens on the rougher roads at lower speeds.

Everything seems tight, steering is pretty stout, no leaks after the repairs, everything installed is at torque spec.

Where in the 1 min video is the sound the most obvious?

Did you install all new (pliable) spring seat rubber, shock top rubber? are the sway-bar endlinks (whose?) have the bar level with the car on it's wheels? pic of said endlinks from under car with car on wheels?

Of course, when the end links were installed they were on a two piece life so the suspension was level at install and torqued.

I can get photos when she gets home (it’s her car) but I genuinely can’t figure it out.

The video, it’s very little of a rattle but you can hear it about 10 seconds in, you have to use headphones.

No changes at RPM, you can use radio to not hear it but unfortunately I’m one of those insane people that if a sound wasn’t there before it will bother me lmao.
