Oh that's hilarious, golonaus!

Jjjoei, I too own a 97. Chances are, all of the following need replacement if it rattles:

Control arms
Sway bar bushings
Struts
Drop links
Wheel bearings
Tie rod ends

Swap these out and you should be rattle free!

Don't just buy the porch, buy the whole house! (you missed the E in Porsche)

I don't know if buying a Porsche is better than "buying the farm" as they say.

Keeping up with this car's maintenance needs is killling me :troll:

Just last month I had to replace the cluster and the display panel on the climate control. Both had "leaked" LCD material during a cold snap here in Houston.
