Passenger side rattling noise.

Hi there.

I have a 2006 mercedes c230. The other day i was driving down a road at around 40km/h and i hit a bump. Not a pot hole, its like a small hump in the road.

I felt like the front of the car hit the road. It didn't sound good at all. Now after driving the car for 2 days after the bump i hear a rattling sound everytime i got over a bump/manholes coming from the passenger side. Any one have an idea of what this can be? Suspensions?

I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

The first thing to fail in a hard knock is usually the sway bar end links. Check all suspension bushings. Also check the steering rack bolts for tightness.

The bushing will be ripped and it'll have some play.
