Cool Major Rattle

Has anyone else have a major rattle on the front end, It sounds like a loose shock but checked both last night and they are fine. But when you drive on these lovely michigan roads all you hear is a banging noise. any ideas what to check next. thanks

Do you have a steering stabilizer? Might want to check that. Also...do not know how many miles on your SD, but the ball joints can make a lot of noise when worn out.

Look at your swaybar links and bushings.

Rattle

I have replaced the steering stabilizer with a rancho one, and I have 75,000 miles on it. It mostly is highway miles, thanks for the help, gonna check everything over this weekend and see what I find. A guy at work just told me he had his sway bar bushing replaced twice and his bar once.
