I'm looking to purchase a 2002 Honda Civic. When driving the car on a road test, I heard a rattling sound coming from the passenger side front tire. Is there anything that could have come loose? A CV problem? Suspension? I don't hear the noise on the drivers side front tire.

Having a Technician check out car is good thing to do when buying used car. The cost of inspection could save you $$$$ in repairs.

HI there,

This could be a strut mounting or a faulty strut or a sway bar bush, this will have to be investigated first hand to make sure.
