Suspension rattles over uneven surfaces and suspect a loose bushing in the top bracket.
After researching the bushing for proper placement, the tabs that hold it to the bracket should be pressed into place for properly securing it.
I don’t have a press, but wonder if a vice would have sufficient pressure to secure the tabs tight enough so the bushing stays tight into the bracket.
Any comments on the upper bushing being a common cause of rattling and the proper way to secure it in the bracket?
