2003 Kia Spectra Suspension Rattle
Perry’s Question: My 2003 Spectra rattles when I go over bumps. It rides OK, but the noise is driving me nuts. Have you seen this before?
Answer: Yes, the front sway bar bushings go out all the time in those Kias. They always have them in stock at the dealer, just buy a set of the bushings, they’re actually pretty easy to put in yourself if you want to give it a try. They just unbolt, slip off, and then the new ones slip on.
Michael, you fixed my Kia. I just went to the dealer and bought the bushing kit. You were right, it was pretty easy to just unbolt the torsion bar and swap the bushings out. Thirty bucks later, my Kia is now fixed. great advice. Perry
