jrcamry98	Rattling from the front of car. 1998 Toyota Camry. I have a 1998 Toyota Camry and I hear rattling noises from the front driver's side and passenger side. My cousin changed the struts and checked the axles, tie rods, ball joints. We didn't see anything wrong. We tightened the radiator and shock that gives the engine stability (don't know what it's called). A friend told me it could be the wheel bearings. What do you think it is? There is no bucking in the brakes or steering wheel.

No, wheel bearings don't rattle. It's hard for us to know what this noise is, not being there, but one possible source if it's from the wheels is missing anti-rattle springs on the disk brake pads.
