Hi I have a 2007 elantra, When i go over small bumps on road it rattles through the sterring coloum and have a ping or rattle in engin when i take off or under load. Tony

The most likely culprit would be the exhaust moving and tapping the bodywork or something nearby.

Could be springs or shocks?

Check engine rubber mountings.

If your spare wheel is in a wheel well in the trunk, check for something in there loose and shaking about.

check the brake caliper and the sway bar

Possible sway bar bushings & a good one that is often overlooked, try rotating the tires WITH THE HUBCAPS. good luck

These engines don't rattle and especially ping unless they are hot. And the sound of fluid thru the heater core. Tells me you are low on coolant. The engine is not cheap to replace.

Too many to say just one but I can gif you a few things to look at. First would be the tie rods and ball joints. Then there is the end link pin. Calipers will make a rattle noise as well. My bet here is the ball joints though.

it could be a worn steering idler if the rubber has gone around it shaft it will rattle and be hard to control the sterring.

Hope this helps guys. It went from jack hammer to bliss in 5 seconds!

Check sway bar bushings/links and sway bar bushing/body mounts, rattle mostly when going over bumps/rough spots in the road.

sounds like worn out shocks or struts

electrical tape the strikepins then loosen the strikepins with a pipe wrench and, readjust tighten and, remove the tape.
Sometimes the strike pins have a plastic sleeve if this is missing you must replace the strikepins because their diameter will be too small for the latch jaws and will rattle.
