Some Pontiac Grand Prix owners report experiencing persistent rattling noises from the front struts even after replacement. This issue may be attributed to various components, including ball joints, strut mounts, and sway bar links, which are commonly associated with such noises in the front suspension. Owners are advised to thoroughly inspect the replaced front struts to ensure they were installed correctly and that all necessary components, such as strut mounts, were also replaced. Additionally, some owners find that sway bar links can contribute to the rattling, highlighting the importance of ensuring all related parts are in good condition and properly installed. If the rattling persists, it may be beneficial to have a mechanic conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system to identify underlying issues with components like control arm bushings and tie rods. Depending on the findings, further repairs or replacements of suspension components may be necessary to effectively resolve the rattling issue.
