    Going down the road and hitting and crack in the road, washboards, etc I have big front suspension rattles. I jack the car up and cannot feel anything loose grabbing the wheel, smacking the tire with a sledge, etc. I cannot get it to rattle. Any mechanics tips on how you diagnose these suspension noises that only seem to be present while driving?

    I had a rattle a few weeks ago that sounded like metal to metal and it was only missing brake clips... But take it to a Sears or somewhere that does a free front suspension check and let them know whats going on. It could be a strut bearing, sway bar, control arm or just bushings. Good luck.
