Rattling noises in the front suspension could be due to strut faults, loose bushings, a loose sway bar or links, or any other suspension component that is no longer tightly secured to the frame. Another possibility is loose brake parts or body sheet metal components. If you request a vehicle noise diagnostic, the responding certified mechanic will definitely find the origin of the noise.
