my 95 rmw has new ball joints, tie rods, idler arm,shocks and centerlink and every time I go over bumps it sounds like a pocket full of loose change rattling around under the car.i have owned the car for a couple of years and from what I can remember it was quiet.is there anything I should be checking to try stop the noise?

Check the sway bar end links. I bet one or both is loose. Wink

Also check your brake pads if your end links are good. I had the same noise/trouble. Come to find out the pads were just floating inside of the calipers.

I checked the end links and both are tight ,but noticed the noise is more of a jingle and sounds like its bouncing.its hard to explain.the noise seems to come from the front right so I checked the battery ,head light,radiator and antenna and they all seem to be properly mounted.i have not checked the brakes yet but remember bending the tabs on the pads for a tight fit,they possibly could have loosend up.

On the brakes, check the rubber isolator rings that sit in a receiver groove where the caliper guide bushings go. When these isolators get tired, the calipers will rattle while driving. A kit with new bushings and rings is available and cheap too.

$4.40 at Rock Auto.

Well if the endlinks are tight, then it may be the brake pads rattling in the calipers. Use a pair of channel locks to squeeze the tabs so they are tight again.
