Rattle in right front
I have a 99 Blazer 2 wd, there is a rattle in the right front when i am traveling down a dirt road or rough pavement, after doing a search i checked the possible cause, i checked the brakes and they were ok, put new shocks on, making sure all the bolts were tight, the dang thing still rattles, i have noticed while making a left turn the rattling stops and as soon as the wheel is straight it is back. what am i over looking? Thanks for your help

Ball joints, wheel bearings. Check them both. Raise truck and place a jack under the frame on both sides of the truck. Then jack the lower control arm to as level as you can without lifting the truck off the jack stands. Grab the tire at top and bottom and try to rock it and then try to push it in and out. Turn it while pushing in and pulling out. If you can move the tire or hear a noise it may be yr wheel bearings. You'll need a pry bar to check ball joints. I'm not sure of the tolerances on your truck.
