Stock Front Suspension issue

[Azzie]

Gentlemen,

My 02 C2 makes a distinct rattling noise in the front suspension area but only under low speeds. During any sort of spirited driving the noise is gone (and I don't believe just masked by other noise) I've been hearing the noise for a while and it is staying about the same, I have looked and can not see anything broken. The suspension is completely stock and I am having no issues with braking.

Start by checking for loose swaybar mounts. If those are tight then look at the upper strut mounts - look for signs that they are moving in their slotted holes.

Mine is same year, model, etc, 40k miles & does the exact same thing. Took lower shields off and found nothing loose. Figured it has to be either control arm bushings or upper strut bearings (which definitely groan once warm). Not worried about it, but hope it goes away when I eventually update/replace the suspension. Let me know if you find anything & I'll do the same!!

I had the same problem, turns out that the balljoints of the sway bar end links had some play.
