Suspension/Axle probems . . . . . .
Howdy folks,
Good news is . . I just replaced the shocks/struts on my 2k I30. It solved my wheel rattling problem. The ride is extremely stiff right now and I am glad that chapter is done with. However, I noticed that when I took my car to test drive post shock/strut installation. The front end would hummm as I increased in speed. It at the point where it is unbearable. If anyone has any experience or suggestion what this may be . . .I'd greatly appreciate it.

^^That's not a stupid question at all, was about to ask the same thing.....
There isn't ALWAYS play, especially when they get wasted real quick from putting the car back down on the ground without the axle in it, that's a big no-no, you didn't do that during the install for any weird reason did you? Also, check to make sure that you don't have a brake line rubbing against the axle.

Hip Hip Hooray . . . . . Problem solved and my I30 drives like a cloud now . . . *crossing fingers* I had the shocks/struts replaced which solved the wheel rattling problem. Afterwards, I'd hear a horrendous humming from the front right wheel that increased as the car sped up. I had the right wheel bearing replaced and saw that the wheel bearings warped a section of the bearing's casing. Had it replaced and now all is well so far!!
