[evolvd]

Can you describe the rattle in more detail? Metallic? Plasticy? Thudding?

Would you say it's coming from the suspension or does it sound like it's in the cabin.

sorry its a definite metal rattle and its coming from the suspension or something connected to that ie steering, swaybar..

[MikeCuzzy]

Hmm, does it happen at seemingly random times? Or under specific circumstances? Such as going over bumps, turning on full lock?

nah it constant even when driving straight i dont know if its any consultation but my steering feels buggered too had a feeling it could be something to do with the rack

Very possible, especially if you're feeling it in the column. Have your regular mechanic look at it, it's a common problem of cars this age. Mines dropping it's guts everywhere and is making some fun noises, getting replaced next service. If it needs to be replaced, expect it to cost around $500.

Mine ended up being link pins with no bushes and the front D sway bar bushes where shot
