The rattle is on the right side. The lower arms and ball joints are replaced and so are the soy bar links. After doing the work the noise seemed to have been fixed but after driving it for a few minutes it returned. just driving over a light raised bump on the road does it. Not sure where to look unless it might me a part of the body that has rusted through. Thanks for any thoughts in figuring this out!!

Did this happen immediately after changing the brakes? If so, did you change the hardware on the calipers when you did the job? Check the brake shoes, they should float freely in the caliper but not rattle. Those clips are there to ensure they work properly.
Thank you for responding to my question.
All of the hardware that is required has been replaced. The slide pins are replaced and lubed with GE silicon grease as the rubber boots aren’t neoprene as they go bad lubed with regular grease. The rotors and pads are the Powerstop system and I’ve always thought that the better one to get besides Brembo.
Thanks!!

It's the calipers. Look under my name. I *think* I started a thread about it; if not I don't have many posts. .
When I had my brakes changed the mechanic did something to tighten them *lube maybe) and the problem went away for 6 months. It's back now and extremely annoying.
In that thread is the solution. It might just be to change the calipers....but I don't know...see the thread.
