E36 Front rattling

["Manuel Paredes" <ddrk1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
I have been asking questions about a rattling noise I am getting from my 
passengers side from wheel well and I came to the conclusion that it is my 
strut. Is there ANY sure way of checking this hypothesis of mine?  I have 
checked all the bushings and pushed the front right side of the car up and 
down and everything seems to be normal.  No wierd noises or anything.  Do 
any of you know what the "typical" life expectancy of a strut is?  I know it 
depends on the driving but there must be some kind of idea out there.  My 
car is pushing 80k so I do think it could be a bad strut.  If not what else 
could it be??  It only happens when I am driving not when I am idling.  ANY 
help will be appreciated.
