My Dad is still battling the rattle on his 1998 Corolla LE.
Here is a description of the problem:
I have a rattling sound coming from the driver front end. Thought it was a suspension issue so I have installed new brakes, new struts and sway bar end bushings. None of this helped abate the rattle. I now notice the rattle sometimes happens when I take my foot of the accelerator. I also notice that if I apply light pressure to the brakes the rattle goes away. While this rattle happens primarily when I encounter a bump in the road it is increasingly heard when I back off the throttle.
Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?
