My car rattles, almost like something is lose in the front. Whenever I go over bumps or hit a pothole is when I hear the noise, and it really sounds like my front end is going to fall off. It even make the sound when I hit little divits in the road. Any idea what it could be.

Hi there,

Loose or worn suspension mounts and bushes or faulty valving in the suspension struts, also have exhaust mounts and heat shields checked as well.
