Default My Ride Has Change In Its Pocket

I have a weird noise coming from the driver side front wheel well. It makes a noise similar to that of having change in your pocket. USUALLY only when my suspension is put to use (going over a bump, etc.). Im not sure what it may be , can u help me out!!!

There's a lot of things that can make noises like that. Can you make the noise stopped by bouncing the front of the car up & down? Then you can look closer & maybe pinpoint the location of the sound.

Shake & rattle what you can in the engine. Maybe loose stuff in the AC compressor clutch? Loose bracket for the steering fluid reservoir? I'm just trying to give a few ideas...

with my previous ride, i had a similar noise coming from the front of the car.

turned out to be the bushings for the control arms. (they were gone!!)

just my 2 cents

On my last car, I had a front sway bar and had the rattling change sound. Turned out the bushings on the sway bar was gone so the metal washers were just rattling around.

So I'd try to think of anything up front that might have bushings and washers and start looking there. Most likely your bushings got old and came apart and now the washers are just rattling about.
