I have a 2002 3/4ton 2wd. For the past month I have been trying to figure out what keeps rattling under my hood. Well I think I have come to the conclusion that its not under the hood its something to due with my wheels and brakes?!?! What my question is what could it be. The rattling only occurs when I hit small bumps and thats it. But when I press on the brakes it kind quits. I have taken my brakes off three times already to see if I had not tighten anything up but thats not the case. Any suggestions will help at this point.

 

Hub bearings? shocks bolts came lose?

 

My 2001 4X4 has more of a squeak than a rattle, It's driving me nuts! If you find the culprit me know.

 

Mine sounds like an old lawnmower type trailer going down the road. Kind of a squeaky rattle. I was told that it is the front suspension, maybe dry bearings.

 

Mine is doing the same thing "sometimes". I've read about the lower shock bolt coming loose. That's were I'm going to start. Mine seems to be drivers side.

Will report if that's the problem, and mine is a rattle like a loose door panel if that makes sense.
