Default Rattle on passenger side wheel when going over a bump in the road
How do I know if it is a control arm, tie rod end or other suspension component!?

Thanks!

Default Have you changed brake pads recently?
Could just be that the tensioner springs aren't seating correctly.

Default It sounds like its the suspension (not brakes) I wanted to know how I can figure out whcih part of
supension is shot. Tie rod ends, control arms etc.

Thanks!
