I have a suspension rattle when I hit some bumps. I think I can feel it in the floor too. Yeah I know I could be anything.
Firestone just told me that my upper left BJ has some play but upon my inspection I think its an inner tie-rod end (BJ only has 20K on it). When the steering wheel is jiggled no visible play in the bJ but I hear clicking on the tie-rod with no play on the outer. (I just have not had a chance yet to get it up on a jack to fully investigate). I also know it it needs struts too.
Left lower control arm and mount is a year old.
Both right tie-rod ends have been replaced <30k
Outer Left tie-rod <30K
both end links <50K
Swaybar mount bushings have been done at some point
Both upper BJ's one 20K the other 7K
Whats the easy way to check the upper control arm bushings? Can the lose tie-rod end show these symptoms?
I just want to replace whatever it could be when I have it apart for the struts.
