My car has a rattling noise in front when i go over bumps. All the suspension bushings are new and the shock absorbers seem to be okay?

did you use the poly bushings? Mine started rattling after changeing to the polurethane bushings. That could be the cause of the noise you are hearing.

the rattle was there before the bushings i thought bad bushings was the cause but the noisedidnt go away
The plastic bushing in the steering rack gets my vote.

I think i might be something else because the rack and pinion is new from hall pantera but i dont know what!
...Been there, fixed that! It's one or both of the coolant tubes hitting against the front 'Anti-Sway Bar'! Just wrap a piece of heater hose about 3" long around the sway-bar, at that point. Silence!!!...
I had the same problem. drove me crazy. I checked the front end, steering etc. turned out to be the Battery hold down was loose and the battery was bouncing. tighened it..no more noise.
Hope it helps

I found my coolant pipes hit the floor and made a small clonk.
Also one of my Koni shocks had failed and made a big clonk.
I put some rubber around the pipe and got Koni to rebuild the shocks.
(There is a fault with the original Koni shocks that makes them go stiff).

I'll "Second" Marlin's fix - had the same problem last year & this fixed it.
