In my 97 3.8 i just had sway bars and all the links replaced and i still have a horrible rattling in back of car.. I read in one post that this sounds like a strut mount.. it has to be since sway bars are in great shape. If they are bad -anyone suggest i just replace all four or do them as they go??

how many miles are on the car? might be better to just replace all 4 struts and strut mounts

Could be the rims.Originally Posted by UFO

Replace all the strut mounts and possibly the struts altogether.

I would do them in pairs if your milage isn't too high. wouldn't make sense to spend a bucket load of money on a high milage car and have the transmission go the next week.

struts really are not to expensive and in theory your suppose to replace them every 60,000 miles. it could also be your hub bearings maybe?

there are 160,000 miles with a totally re-done engine upper lower intakes replaced, and both sway bars,links, tie rods all replaced suspension.. minus the struts.. havn't touched those

It's time to do the struts and mounts then, guy.

if i were you id replace them, at 160,000 they should be replaced if no one ever has before

That's the tale of the Grand Prix.
Always leave one thing broken (like a cupholder or a glovebox) and nothing else will go wrong. Try to fix everything and it's like playing whack a mole.

Best idea is to go back to stock wheels, especially with that 4T60 your car was equipped with.
