2002 GT2 - Front End Rattle???

Does anyone know if this is a common issue with the '02? When I drive it feels like something is loose in the front suspension. The steering is tight with no play, as well as the brakes. It just has a cluck sound that you can kinda feel when traveling over small bumps. It gets way worse at very low speed.

Anyone???

sounds like ur swaybar is loose. if not the swaybar check the brake cooling duct. those plastic ducts come off easy.

It does that when your sway bar is being set at its softest setting. Also the springs do make noises on bad roads.

This is clearly a "clunk". Could be the swaybar endlinks I guess? I was just wondering if this was a known issue, or something unique to my car.

Had the exact same noise. Removed the front sway bar and it went away. Put it back on, tightened down the sway bar drop links and problem solved.
