I did, until yesterday.  

This maybe of some help to sorting out a rattle from the front, hence the post.

I had a rattle when going over bumps coming from the front, could hear it with drivers window open.

I thought it was something loose/worn with the steering or suspension.

So i took it to my local garage, where they put it up in the air and checked the suspension and steering and found nothing wrong.

They asked me to describe the 'rattle', the best I could come up with was, it sounds like stones being shaken in a tin.

Ahhh.....was the answer and out came a hammer  

The mechanic then proceeded to whack the chassis with the hammer and I was amazed as small stones dropped from the Omega  

Ok maybe not the best way to get them out.....about 4 small stones fell out......but it did the trick....and now im rattleless again

The hammer won't cure it. You need a new ECU. If you don't believe me then ask vx.
