Dodge Repair: 01 Stratus Front Susp. Noise, ball joints, lug nuts

Question
There seems to be a rattle in the front suspension of my 2001 Dodge Stratus SE.  Also, occasionally, the driver's side front will start to shake.  If you get out and kick the tire, it sounds as if the tire is loose, which is not the case.

Answer
If you can kick the tire and it makes a noise then you've PROBABLY got lug-nuts loose, the bearing has nearly had a catastrophic failure or the ball-joints are REALLY worn out.  It sounds like this would be something easily found with a little use of even just the factory flat tire jack and a little effort.

More importantly if you can kick the tire and hear noise I don't think driving it anymore would be safe for you or the rest of society.
