Fixed my rattle - Click HERE for Original Thread
GMM
For those that have an annoying rattle in the front end while driving at slow speeds. I have had this problem for a year, the dealer couldn't find the problem, blamed it on the strut valving? It was the passenger side inner tie rod end. I purshased the part for $26, an alignment and 2 hours of my time. The pilot drives like new again.

How did you isolate the problem?

I jacked up the front end (both sides). With the tires on, I grabbed the tire and wiggled it back and forth. The movement in the tie rod was very slight. It's been several weeks now and it feels and sounds like a new vehicle. Good luck, hope this helps.
