30

Asked by Minnie May 05, 2017 at 09:12 PM about the 2006 Chevrolet Malibu LT FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car rattles like the front end is
about to drop, but I had the front end
work done a year ago. It also has a
popping sound like old bones are
cracking lol what could be going on? I
have put so much money into this to
the point I could've bought a
spanking brand new car.

Please have this checked by a local mech. Could be cv axle if it's a front wheel drive. Could also be ball joint, tie rod end, strut, ect. Lots of different items that could fail at an inopertune time and cause you to have an accident.
