Bucket of bolts? #720023 05/01/06 12:24 AM

Need a Spot
My 1998 Rodeo LS 3.2L V6 4X4, after 100k really sounds like a bucket of bolts now. When driving on semi-rough pavement and espeically when cornering on rougher pavement, it sounds like the left front suspension has a loose part, like a ball joint clanking around or something, but I've checked and everything seems tight. Is this common to the gen II Rodeo and if so, what's the fix? Ideas?

Body Damage is Cool
Check your wheel bearings and shock on the side making the noise.

Check: ball joint, control arm bushings, steering components and those wheels bearings.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I have a bad shock bushing that sounds like a 'bucket of bolts', the metal sleeve is rusted/worn out to a larger diameter and makes alot of noise hitting the bolt, especially now that its warm enough to drive with the windows down <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
