97 LHS Rattle in front suspension
 
Front struts replaced with Monroe quick struts. There is now a rattle as car is driven. Struts are torqued & tight, all 4 subframe bushings are new & tight. Vehicle drives & handles perfectly.

Any possibilities for the noise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ball joints, stabilizer bar. I once had a nasty rattle in my Mercury Sable that turned out to be the inner tie rods. There are lots of things under there that can rattle including body parts.

Front of my car Shaking?
I have a 97 chrysler lhs and the front start shaking on me a few weeks ago and i was told it was a warped rotor...I changed the brakes and the rotor and the front is still shaking MOSTLY DURING STOPING..to describe how its like it feels like the wheel is not on tight....i took the car to my local tire place and used the air gun to make sure the tire was on tight . the rotors are on good and the caliber bolts are in sucure..WHAT IS CAUSING THE RATTLING AND SHAKING....thanks in advance

Check the tie rod ends and wheel balance. Check for an out-of-round tire or a bent rim.
Don't over-tighten the lug nuts by letting some ape with an air gun go at them full blast. Thge proper torque is 95 ft-lbs. Overtightening risks cracking the wheel and leaving you stranded on the side of the road with a flat and a wheel you can't get off.
As for rattles, see the previous post. I can't tell you what's rattling on your car. Somebody is going to need to look at it carefully.
