Something Loose I Think

When going over bumps in the road, I notice on the drivers side front a light rattling noise. Maybe a loose shock or strut? I don't know. Only hear on driver side front tire though. Any ideas?

I had a knock in my 2000 Excursion. We found a loose bolt in the front right sway bar bushing mount and the right rear lower shock mount was also loose and needed tightening.

HMMM OK I have a bump/thump in the front passenger side? It sounds as if something is clunking inside a box?

I took it in and they didn't find anything loose. I'm thinking it may be the alignement I'm hearing. Is this possible? Truck is pulling to the left a little so maybe I need to re-align.

Did they check the ball joints? Some times its hard due to the rubber cover that they stockers have on them? I need to climb under mine this weekend and look Just being lazy..

I have also heard that this noise can come from the body mounts? I would love to know how this could cause such a noise?

I have accepted it for the time being until i start replacing the suspension and all bushings with the Energy hyperflex system. I just hope i can make it until then!!!

Maybe my reference to the body mount is accurate if you feel it down by the floor pan??
