2005 Spectra front end makes a rattling noise in the front end that could be heard inside the house when backing out of driveway. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer six times for this problem but they were unable to resolve the problem. The consumer stated the problem had been rectified. The dealer replaced the front struts, insulators, pads and flange self-locking unit. The left front strut nut was crossed-threaded, which made it difficult to find the rattle. Updated 09/13/06.
