Message:
After turning about 25K on my 2000 4X4 CC 4.7 I started noticing a loose rattly feeling coming from what feels like the left front area. Took to dealer and they put in new sway bar bushings, which did nothing. They said control arms were fine, but I still hear and feel it when driving around in parking lots and taking sharp slow turns. Also it seems much more prevelant when turning to the right. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this as it makes me a bit uncomfortable feeling like something is loose. I had the shocks replaced, also to no avail, since it sounds kind of like a bad shock. Any info helps... thanks

My 02 Dak 2WD with 30K started making a noise like something was loose around the front wheel area when hitting small bumps in the road. Turned out to be the bushings on the brake caliper were worn, causing it to rattle. Hit the outside edge of your tire with your fist and watch your brake caliper and listen for a rattle or see if the caliper moves. Luckly the warrenty covered it and the dealership replaced the whole caliper for me. Hope this helps!

where do I go to find out about the TSB. I'm not real familiar with the process, is this something the dealer should have checked into when I brought it in the first time? I did a search in tsb portion of this site, but didn't find anything. thanks for the help...
