:D Well, got the new Bilstein TC on the front with all the accoutrements and also replaced the back as well. What a difference. I didn't really notice much height difference on the front. Based on the drive this AM they don't seem overly stiff either. Bottom line MUCH smoother ride. Working with the...

Thanks for all the help and infomration. Based on what I've found the Bils seem to fit the ticket. Thanks for the purchase site info. You mentioned to also get the the mounts and spring seats.

Actually after reading MIJ's last reply I'm starting to think it's the stut mounts. (again). I had them replaced last year, which for me equals about 35K miles ago.

A new rattle

It's definitely more pronounced over bumps and identifiable at low speed (10~30 mph). I've check the engine compartment but did not find anything obvious but I'll check again with the areas you mention.

Each morning when leaving for work I hear a rattle in what seems to be the drivers side front fender area. Fairly close to the...
