Front suspension problems
 
I have a 1997 Cadillac Sts. When your driivng there is a rattling noise when you hit any sort of bump. When you turn the wheel either direction moving or stopped there is a vibration in the wheel and a creeking sound in the suspension. What could this be?

sounds like two, three different issues...... id check power steering fluid, if you havent. i would say also there is a tie rod or something of that nature that is creeking, and the rattle noise could be a number of things. ei: i found my splash cover not snug, so over bumps, or tracks it sounded like the front end was falling out.
like i say, the raddle could be a number of things..... oh shock/strut tower possibly
keep us posted, and good luck

The power steering fluid is full and it is not the pump its self. I just put new wheel bearings on both sides and an axle shaft on the passenger side. I was thinking something with the strut as well. How would i check to see if the strut is good? I was also thinking sway bar bushings.

well if you see signs of leakage in the strut, its bad..... the mount imo is probobly your issue, and its tuff to see. maybe one of the other tech will jump in and assist with this. let me see if i can get someone.
