rattle/drivers side floor area
I have a rattle under the drivers side floor area. I looked underneath for a culprit but couldn't find anything. I did a few searches and came up with shock bolts and steering shaft bushing. I checked the steering shaft bushing today and it feels real tight. The shock bolts sound more like it because I just replaced the shocks about 2 weeks ago. I was sure to put the rubber gromets in on the upper washers.
How many foot pounds on those lower bolts?
someone else had a steering box working it's way loose from the frame? is this common?

In another thread similar to this, someone had a loose wheelwell liner. The stock plastic rivets get worn out, I had this same problem with a rattle as well in that spot.

Ok, as suggested I tightend the dickens out of the lower shock bolts and did find a loose fender well that I put a new screw in. took it up the road and it's gone!
Thanks again boys!
