Going over any little bump makes the wheels rattle like they're going to come loose and fall off.
Mechanic reckons rack rattle but there is no play and all is tightened and so nothing to worry about but there wouldnt be any noise and effect unless theres some issue. Im about to order tie-rod ends and ball joint sets put on - anyone has any suggestions?

its not just squeaky worn out rubber bushes?

What type of wheels are you running?

if its the rack it more than likely would be a knock sound..

a rattle could be the brake pads rattling when you hit bumps??
