I bought an "86" Camaro a couple of weeks ago and have a mysterious noise. When I hit a small bump or pothole I get a lout chatter/rattle noise that seems to come from the front passenger side front. It even does it some times when cruising down the road and I get road vibration. I thought it was an exhaust rattle, but the whole exhaust system seems pretty tight.
Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

suspension i had the same prob got right pushrod replaced sway bar and bushling < i think thats the word and it solved my problem

not positive that will owrk but it solved it for me

 

interesting, i've noticed the same thing on my car...

 

check for a broken spring thats sitting the peice in the... thing that holds the spring.

 

If it sounds rather like coins jingling in your pocket, it's the sway bar end links.

 

i was about to post the same thing.


the sway bar endlink bushings erode over time... eventually all thats left is the washers on the bolt... and they jingle.
