over small bumps at low speed. Any idea what this could be? I will be putting H&Rs on soon, but I fear it it a control arm or CV joint. Any help is appreciated. My mechanic found nothing the last time the car was in, but I'm afraid he didn't look too hard. Thanks.

I have the same thing and cannot find it. I have the half shafts out at the moment and am going to wiggle all parts now that they are loose. Rattle is from front left when turning right hard and descending, e.g., parking ramps. Odd. Both outer TR end are marginal and I'm going to replace those. BTW I had a heck of a time getting the outer CV off, had to hit the bolt hard with an air wrench, I would estimate at least 75 ft/lbs. Don't look forward to driving it back on, can't help the balls any.
