Ok im new to this website, im more of a DIY'er but i dont know what is wrong with my truck. I hear a rattleing noise comng from my drivers side suspension. there was a knocking so i got the ball joints replaced but the rattleing did not stop. Mechanic told me a bushing was missing but he didnt have any in stock so he didnt replace it.

so my 1st question is does anyone know what i need to replace. It sounds like a person jiggling keys when i go over bumps.

2nd the mechanic told me my rotors need replacing. so if i replace my rotors will i need to have my alignment redone?

3rd question is like the 2nd. If i replace a tie-rod or other bushing will i need my alignment redone?

 

Welcome to the site..

Make sure 'all' the heel plates/anti rattle clips are in place on the caliper/anchor.

If you replace the rotors the alignment won't change, but if you replaced ball joints, tie rod ends ect. it can affect the settings..
