2 yrs ago hit pothole w/ RT front tire, when slowing to stop sign. RT front oscillating sounding rattle since. New bushings put in. Steers fine. Handles fine. Want to sell, but need to eliminate rattle. Thoughts? ---

When you say 'New bushings put in.", were the stablizer bar insulators and the stablizer link on the right side replaced? I would look closely at those. Can you get the rattle as you work the right front fender up and down? Hope to help. ---

Check the hood hinge bolts. My 2000 Blazer developed a tremendous rattle after hitting a few major pot holes in Philly. Over time the hinge bolt increases the size of the hole causing the hinge to rattle. Shove a piece of cardboard between the fender and the hood in the hinge area. You can either tighten the hinge bolt or add a set of conical washers to fill the gap between the bolt and the hole. I used the washers to fix the rattle. Here’s a link with the TSB explaining the rattle [http://www.mombu.com/chevrolet/chevrolet/t-s-10-rattle-962326-last.html](http://www.mombu.com/chevrolet/chevrolet/t-s-10-rattle-962326-last.html) Ed B.
