what are these rattling noises
hi guys just wondering if anyone would know why the my calais is making rattling noises coming from the front of the car when going on rough roads ive put lowered performance shocks and kingsprings in the front so im thinkin maybe a busher kit would be the way to go and replace all of them. I know my engine mounts are worn and need replacing so could this be the reason? It would be great to hear anyone elses opinion on the issue
cheers

Sounds exactly like you need new strut mount bearings to me. $29.00 each.
Fixed my problem.

have you checked your sway bar link bushes?, with the car on a flat surface open the drivers door and rock the car side to side pushing on the roof just above where the door closes, if you can hear the same noise it might be time to replace your sway bar links.
yea the bushes on the sway bars link are rooted so I was thinkin that or could it be the D bushers?
glen i did wat u sed to mine and mine is hell loud wen i do it lol ill have to get it fixed nxt week
d bushes dont relly wear out to much unless the car has had a hard life.
Mate, the strut bushes/bearings falling appart means they're buggered.

the bearings looked brand new man like seriously brand new as if they had just been put in and I dont understand how a bearings can make a clunking noise when driving on rough roads but from what i've been told its probably the control arm bushers
