Sounds like chains rattling

[DougEckard]

Ok guys I just noticed a sound coming from my suspension when I hit bumps. I also just changed my rims and tires so there is considerably more rim and less tire than before. It sounds like chains rattling down there. Any thoughts????

is it coming from front or rear? if rear, check your shock mounts. bushings could be rotted out and need to be replaced. if it is coming from the front, could be same issue with shock mounts or even the bushings on the front sway bars. i blew the bushing out on one of my sway bars and it rattled like hell until i replaced it. cheap to fix if that is the case.

Or it could be your spare tire chain. See if the spare is hanging a little loose.

It's coming from the front. I think it's the driver side.

This is a long shot, but when I changed my brake pads and rotors, the thickness of the rotor had the anti-vibration clips hitting the inside of the when when it was turning. Those are now sitting the top of the toolbox. If you changed your rims and the backspacing may be a problem. Like i said, a longshot, but you just need to jack up a wheel and spin it to see. Good luck, Mike.
