!!!!Annoying problem help!!!!!!
 
In the past couple months i have noticed a really annoying rattling in the front passenger side in the engine bay. I cannot figure out what it is. Do struts make funny noises when they get old?? Whenever i hit a hole in the road or a speedbump too fast it rattles really bad. ANy ideas??? I thought it was my headlight at first but then i tightened it really good and the noise was still really bad.

Check your suspension bushings, lower ball joints, strut mounts, wheel bearings, etc....

check your sway bar links they are common to break.

i had the same problem...
 
It was partially my struts ( one strut was completly broken inside the shaft and was rattling, as well it was the lower balljoints...a combo of both...i the noises sounded exactly the same, but happened at different times...the strut when i hit a bump, and the ball joints wheni turn (mostly on gravel )

try your hood, lighly push on the corners of the hood at the front if the hood moves or you here a rattle then open your hood and adjust the stops
