anoying rattle over every bump upfront drive me crazy!
-Replaced both strut bearings and top washers myself all oem parts! 120 from gm. The top rubber looked squashed and there was a little play. Still made the noise!

-removed both stabilizer bar end links went for test drive rattle gone! Replaced both with gm parts for 100.00 noise gone quite as can be:)

Sorry recap above from my member intro.

but this is a easy low buck tip!! Rattle sounds upfront remove both stabilizer bar ends completely and then test drive, if it isn’t gone reinstall your links, no cost! If it’s gone then you know 100% the issue is one of you’re links.
My left and right links did not have any play felt in the bearings yet it was bad! So this is a great test!

driving without links is only to be done for a 1 km or less over a bumpy road. Vehicle handling in a sharp corner or off ramp will be very different with the links out so be careful!
