I hear a rattling sound from the front end when entering a bumpy driveway or uneven pavement. The car was checked by a certified mechanic and apparently it was the bushings in the suspension that needed to be lubed. I was told to wait 24 hrs before I noticed anything. Well it's been 48hrs and the sound is still there. What could it be?

Could be struts, or the top strut mount

Thanks! The car is under warranty and I will have to take it back but now it's costing me my time. I like to go in knowing as much as I can about my car so as not to ripped off, being a girl, it's a fact.

You were right. They replaced both sides and I now have my car back in great shape. Thanks!
