It is a rattle and not a grind or whine? My drivers side front wheel was making funny noises now and then but checked out okay. Today I got to spend $210 to have it towed home for a toasted bearing. It was making a horrendous grinding noise.
yeah it is deffinatly a rattle. I am putting it in the shop today to get the ball joints replaced. I hope that fixes it, but if not it will eliminate the large amount of play I have in my steering wheel.
I was talking to a friend the other day and he said that he also had a front end rattle and it was his shock, or shock tower that had come loose. I can't remember which he said it was.

The only thing I have "rattle" in the frontend are the center caps when they are not tight. Other tham that all I have are Clunks (need to re-tighten and grease the new sway bar bushings)

my inner tie rods were bad, replaced them, and it helped with the play in the steering wheel,(ball joints are new, but didn't help with anything when they were replaced) but I still have a clunk when I go over the cracks in the highway
well I got the truck out today, and the new ball joints did help with the play in the wheel, but the rattle is still there. so when I got it how I jacked it up and went over the bolts holding te shocks to the mount and the mount to the frame. Everything was tight except for the lower shock mount, so i am hoping that was it, I have yet to drive it around the block.
