rattel in front and rear
 
On my 99 accord this rattling bumping sound in the front and rear. I was assuming swaybar end links. Replaced all 4 with no luck. The struts and shocks are original but not leaking. Still a good ride! But when I am driving anytime and hit little areas in the road. Like spots in road that have been patched, sew covers, wash boards in dirt road, I get this rattling bumping sound in front and rear. What could this be?

Hard to say. Have you gotten it in the air (normal cautions) and tried to reproduce the sound by pushing/pulling on things?

yep
 
I put it on rack and couldnt get it to do it.

Post or ramp? Where I'm going is that you would want the wheels "hanging"

accord99 12-26-2011 09:31 PM

post lift and ramp both.
 
I have put it on both. Someone said a strut mount wore out and shock bushings in top.

Yes could be the strut mounts....just hate replacing things without knowing.

It could be a number of items. Search the web for ericthecarguy suspension noise for a good DIY on how to test.

Also inspect the rubber bushings for the sway-bars in the front and back. They could be the culprit.

Definitely sounds like a bushing issue.
