Thread: PLEASE HELP! Rubbing noise in front end

I just recently bought my 04 grand prix. It has 130000 miles on. Car seems to be a good car so far. The only issue that I am having is a weird rubbing noise when i first start the car and put it in gear. After that it goes away. It seems like it is rubbing on the passengers side in the front but im not 100% for sure. Also i have been told that the bushings are bad in the front. When you put the car in park it rolls a bit before it stops. Also if you lean up against the front of the car you can see the motor move. Can this all be related? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

ok I checked and the only thing that is really close is the coolant reservoir. When I originally bought the car it did not have a coolant reservoir on it. I went to the junk hard and got one off of a 04 grand prix. I cant really tell if this is what is rubbing but from what I can see its the only things that is close enough to rub. Is there anything that I can do about this or do I just have to deal with it. And how much moving is normal. It moves alot more than my other cars so thats why I thought mabey something was wrong.
