Hi everyone. I haven't been able to find a similar problem in any of the boards, so I will describe it here. There is a rattle/noise/vibration coming from the front end. It only occurs whenever I accelerate and then stops when I reach a certain speed. It sounded at first like something was caught in the wheelwell, but nothing was there.
Its a 98 SSEi Supercharged. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: noise/rattle/vibration in front
Does it happen at all when not moving? Does it change with speed?

Re: noise/rattle/vibration in front
It doesnt happen when I'm idling. It seems to get louder the harder I accelerate. But then stops at around 30-40 mph.
