Ford RangerMore than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.
I have a 2003 Ranger and which has been making a rattling noise (or sounds similar) in the front drivers side area. It appears more when it is really warm outside than colder weather. Typically you can hear it when driving over pavement cracks. It seems to occur in relation to when there would be some compression between the pavement and truck. Does it sound like a bad bushing somewhere in the front suspension or a ball joint issue? What should I check or have looked at first?
