If you feel excessive movement and hear a clunk-clunk, the wheel bearings are bad. A rattling from the front end is usually either loose sway bar end links or the steering rack getting worn out (most noticeable when you hit a bump at low speed).

Thanks again all, keep them coming, I'll keep you posted. quoteOriginally posted by DaveL:I was having this problem once, and it turned out to be the front brake pads were loose because some idiot had bent the little tangs on the shoes to make them easier to install. Bent them backa little and that was that. Hope you are that lucky!

As a side note I changed the front bearing in my Ford van this summer. (I hadn't dont that type of repair before) I think it was a different design than the Fiero, but it was going "crunch, crunch, crunch..." LOL It took me about 2 hours, but I had to learn how to do it at the same time.Good Luck.

Jack up the car and spin the wheel and listen for grinding noise. Grab the wheel and try to rock it up and down (be careful that you don't yank it off the jack). There should be very little play.If a bad bearing is left on too long you could damage the spindle.Hope this helps,Carroll

The question that is hard for me to answer is how loose is too loose in each of the tests above. My general rule, is that if it is loose enough to notice by inspection and affect the driveability of the vehicle, it is too much and should be repaired.Hope this helps.
