Wats up, i have a problem with my 97 lx accord, when i´m on the street going like 30km/h and the street needs to be paved again (pavement is not flat enough, has uneven marks) a rattling annoying noise comes from the front suspension, i have no idea what it is and i know that the ball joint is good cuz i changed it like 3 months ago, but i can´t get rid of that sound.... so if you guys have a knowledge please let me know i live in Pto la cruz in Venezuela, you can send me an email or just posted right here any ideas....

if you hear it all the time then it is wheel bearing

look at it good dude. if ya know what wheel it is then jack that side up and shake and search everything on it before you assume that its something major. i had a rattling comming from my front left tire area and i thought it was going to come apart. turns out the bracket that holds the brake line to the suspension had a bolt break and it was a 50cent 30min job.

i was rolling i nmy car with a friend who is an expert in suspension and he told me that the sound was form the bushing´s in the camber area.... the bushings are messerd up...
