I have a 96 4x4 with a 318 when I go over bumps there's a rattling sound almost , not quite like a tin can sound but close to it my shocks are shot need new ones and an alignment but I have replaced everything under the front end inner and outer ti-rods sway arm links upper,lower ball joints,wheel bearings brakes, calipers, rotors help tell me what I might be missing?

 

you said it. you need new shocks and an alignment.

 

U joint maybe?

 

Shocks...and shock bushings are probably gone!

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking but tired of sticking money in it and getting no results

 

So crawl under there, and wiggle stuff, see what's loose.

 

There is nothing loose and replaced u-joints took 4 days to find those because of the Dana drive shaft there baste red u joints

 

If its "light" sounding like a tin can its probably your brake pads. The cheaper ones like to rattle like no tomorrow. The wife's Durango is doing it right now. To test this theory, go over some bumps at a speed that it normally does it but apply the brakes enough to slow you down just a little, but obviously not enough to stop.

If its a little "heavier" sound check your swaybar endlinks and the frame mounts. As stated above, bad shocks will certainly make this noise, as will some of the cheap replacements as they may not be quite wide enough to fill the space between the mounting tabs.

The shocks will also rattle if the bottom bolts aren't torqued tight enough.

 

I appreciate it fellas I figured it might be the shocks but I will test the brake theory thought thanks for the tips
