loose plastic rattling sound from front suspension 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Matt's wagon on  Tue Dec 6 10:38 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My 95 850GLT wagon has a rattling sound when I go over bumps in the road. It almost sounds like there is a loose piece in the spring or a washer or something. The sound is very quiet and since I am not outside, I can only hear it when the stereo is off and there is no traffic, but it is SO annoying. I'm pretty good at working on my car, but I know nothing about suspension...any ideas ?

    I don't recall any plastic in the suspension, but there is plastic everywhere else. Raise the hood and start tapping on every plastic thing you see, if it is loose it will rattle.

      There is a "gravel guard" under the front bumper. It breaks when you hit those cement parking lot curbs and only rattles occaissionly. That's why I am here. Where is the best place to mail-order one of those?

        Have not seen it anywhere on the web...I would try the dealer for that item.
