If when you hit a bump in the road the front end of the car rattles and sometimes it does it when you are just driving is this rack and pinion trouble?

Answer

i just had similar problem. i also thought rack and pinion, but it turned out to be just a suspension link loose. relativley cheap to replace at $40 each side. good luck!

Answer

check ball joints, If they get really worn they will rattle. jack up the front and place a hand on top and on bottom of your tire and try to move it back and forth.
