My honda crv has started to makes rattle noises when I go over bumps or pot holes.I also hear it sometimes when I am going over ramps. The rattles come from the front area and sound like they occur when the front wheels hit bumps

Hello,

The rattle can be from few different parts.
One of the most common rattle from the front is a loose brake dust shield. It is a metal plate that is mounted behind the brake rotor to keep down the brake dust.

The best course of action would be to do a thorough inspection of the suspension and brake components. Check to see if that dust shield is loose. Also look for any loose or damaged components.
Sometimes the if the anti rattle clip of the brake pads come loose, it will make rattling noise as well.

I have attached the diagram for your reference.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
