Rattling sound left drivers side front when hitting holes or driving over uneven pavement 2000 dodge stratus. Steering fine, brakes fine, no sqeaking like with shocks. No unusual sounds when turning the wheels.

Sounds like a front disc brake or a axel,check both sides

This is usually a bad bearing. The tire is tilting to one side and causing uneven wear. The shimmy is because of the slack in the bearing and the contact the front rotor is having with the brake pad. Every time the low side comes around the rotor will hit the brake pad and grab it.

You will need bearings and brake work.

My thought would be to look at the u joints and drive line. When driving the car and it makes the thumbing sound shift to natural, if the sound stops it is probably in drive line.

bent rotor

take the tire off and the brake rotor see if u have room to hit the studs out with a punch and then to reintsall them put the studs in the hole tighten witha lug nut and washer

The brake caliper is locked down on the brake rotor,or the wheel bearing has gone out.

Strut tops are a common failure on the 97-01 era Camry/Solaras.

They will make a hollow rattle sound whenever you hit bumps or uneven pavement.

They can be replaced one at a time, and do not require strut replacement if your old struts are still in good shape.
Replacement does require a strut compressor and an alignment afterwards, placing it outside the scope of most do-it-yourselfers.

It is labeled "suspension support" in the following diagram. The bearing below it is typically replaced at the same time.

you have a bad front wheel bearing..jack up front of vehicle..put in neutral..block rear wheels..put 1 hand on front coil spring and rotate wheel..you will feel roughness in spring on side that wheel bearing is bad

i have a 2000 doge straus and i put two sensors in and it still wont shift any ideas out ther it was fine when parked a year ago so i know the tranaxle is good

hi..the reason to this problem is your wheel
bearings.you need to check out the bearings.
This could be the problem for the loud noise.
thank u..
rate me..
