  1. I actually fixed about 80% of noise.....it's seems to be a two fold problem. One the struts are noise however now that they are wearing in a bit it's not as bad. Two the metallic rattle is coming from strut tower brace. I removed the front and lower covers of that brace and wraped it pipe wrap then put the covers back on...it's seemed to stop alot of the vibration and rattle. The strut tower bar is hollow and emits noise so I may also see if I can plug each end and see if it helps even more.
  2. Nope won't happen without vehicle in motion. What about after market struts??
  3. I've looked everywhere underneath, engine bay, both front wheels, body, door ,underneath the dash.... And it seems like strut bearings to me or something to do with the strut I did notice yesterday and today that lowering my tire pressure to 34 PSI helped out quite a bit. When I picked up the journey knew they were at 39 all around. I also put a complaint in we'll see what happens.
  4. Just purchased a new 2017 Dodge Journey SE with 74 km on it 3 weeks ago and within 4 days it developed a rattle on the front end. I took it to the dealership that I bought it from and I was told it needed a new passenger side strut and strut mount, the dealer fixed it I picked up the vehicle same rattle the next day I took it back to the dealer they put a driver side strut and strut mount in, still the same rattle. At this point the vehicle has 125 K M on it and the dealer says maybe something's loose so they retorque all the suspension and Chassis bolts.... No luck still rattling. It's been roughly three weeks since I bought the vehicle I have just over a thousand kilometers on it and going in and out of parking lots or any type of unlevel ground at a slower speed with steering input the front end rattles like the sway bar is rattling off the rack and pinion.....loud metallic sound. It can be heard inside and outside the vehicle.... But the best part about the whole thing is that the Chrysler dealer tells me that this is normal for a Dodge Journey to sound like this. It's something that's bad in the suspension that they cannot find and are basically giving up on finding it. The dealer only advice was to complain to Chrysler Canada...wtf! Really disappointed by dealer inability to fix and just pass off concerns. Any ideas??
