does the struts make your car rattles when you hit bumps in the road or is it the wheel bearing

The struts help to counteract the springs while driving and keep the car from bouncing too much over bumps. If you've seen a cars back end continue to bounce up and down after going over a bump, that's what worn out struts look like. And worn out struts can lead to rattles. Wheel bearing just keeps the wheel rotating smoothly, more of a steady grinding sound if one goes bad.

It could be something other than struts but it is almost certainly not wheel bearing.

Yea, i have them on my vs 1400 and i do on big bumps. I keep them on the stiffest setting and it isnt so bad. Im going with hardtail struts to keep it as low as these shocks without botoming

No vibration or rubbing for me. Works fine. I have the same truck/ 2013 model.

No. The rattle is just normal wear on a car with high miles, don't lose sleep over it. The only way to fix it is with a remanufactured head or perhaps entire engine if it's not valvetrain noise. As long as the engine is quiet when it's warm and oil pressure is normal you're fine.

Mine rattles too. I just picked it up and shook it. I never noticed this before. I guess it is normal. Good question. Glad I could help. I don't have any other problems with it.

In general, no. I use it every day and I have only noticed it "bouncing" when going over a bumpy road or potholes.

Make sure that the damper rod top mounting nut is tight. My car developed noise within a year, and I found loose nuts on both sides.

It does rattle until it heats up to temp. It's normal but, depending on how much heat you need it to produce, it can be annoying.

I don't know exactly what the difference is but if your vehicle shakes like mine did when rolling out of my drive way then these are worth money.

They don't rattle, occasionally you might get a brief rubbing noise on extreme steering movements.

These have a rattle as you drive. I have not taken video with this style of unit but I would not prefer to either. The rattle is in the audio.

Yes, but at some point soon it will start to rattle and drive you crazy. You also will need a speed reducer.

If I go faster than a brisk walk my front wheels start shaking like crazy. I'm inquiring as to whether it is a factory defect.

We installed on a tow behind RV so would not hear or see if it did rattle. We have however been very happy with our purchase, absolutely no complaints.

Hi Andrew, I haven't noticed any rattling sounds. But, I don't put them down much. When they're pulled up, they snap & stay in that position. The few times I have lowered them, they seem quiet. Please note, my Ford F-150 has a liner where it covers along the top rim, so maybe that's why they appear more quiet to me. Hope this helps. Regards, Jose

I don't know, but don't buy them. I installed them and there was no difference. Maybe I got a bad pair, but i would spend a little more on some good name brand struts. I hope this helps
