Default Suspension rattles

Hi everyone,
My 1995 6 speed is running awesome this summer!
My question is just general suspension rattles, from what i believe is the front end.
Where and how should i start to try to track these rattles down or is it just part of the allure of the C4?

Bloomington Gold was awesome!

Mike

How many miles?
Check all the bolts holding suspension pieces together.
Get it up in the air and try moving stuff around.

Its probably time to think about replacing all the bushings - good luck

Hey all,
I found it, the front calipers are rattling.
They move a bit.
So how are the calipers tightened to eliminate the rattle?

either the pins worn out, get a replacement

of the caliper where the pin contacts is warn out.

in which case the calipers are JUNK

Default rattling calipers

possible mounting pins. Also look closely at your front pads, there suppose be some monting clips the keep the pads from rattling as the pads where down.
