Q: I recently put a new front suspension kit on my wife's car, along with new braking system. There is still a rattle and vibration
I recently put a new front suspension and all new brake parts on my wife's car. When driving it still makes a rattle when the car is following the contour of the road at around 55. Once I turn the wheel left the rattle and vibration stops. Any ideas as to what this maybe?
