My 2001 Dakota has been making this odd sound underneath the front ... I thought it was my U joints.... so I replaced both front and back, it didnt stop, then I changed the drivers side CV shaft and ball joint because both were obviously ****... its still making this sound of loose change in a coffee can... Im not car illiterate but I dont know what this is and its bothering me! I prefer to learn to fix my own vehicle rather than pay a mechanic... any helpful advice is appreciated!! Thanks! *Nicki

 

Curious, where in PA?

That sounds like just something loose. Speed related, and if so, engine speed or ground speed? Or is it a good ole fashioned rattle?

 

its more when I am going high speeds.... it sounds like loose change. and i live near the lake....
