Not sure whats is exactly wrong, but over this past winter i managed to hit some nast pot holes in the winter and i think that was the major contribution to the following issue. when ever i hit any kind of bump, small or large, i hear what sounds like "Change rattleing" from my front passenger tire. I was thinking bad bearing, only because i know the 3400 has a known issue for that, but just wanted to get your guys opinions and help diagnosing the issue at hand. thanks in advance.

Sway bar links
Strut mounts
Spring seats

easiest way to check is to get some wd40 and hose all your rubber bushings behind each wheel. then take it for a spin and see if it still does it (or if it gets quieter) mine does that and i have to "relube" them every few months...

its annoying as hell.
