my 2.3 cl is rattling from the bottom

I have a 1998 2.3 CL. I can hear a loud rattle from the underside of my car, around the front axle. the rattle is spuradicate, can anyone tell me what this might be, thanks!

I think KC CL is right....i had the exact same problem. But after I put on my new headers....the sound was completely gone.
