Rattle from front wheel/suspension area going over little bumps at low speed

The title pretty much says it all. Sometimes when I drive in parking lots that have little tiny bumps in them, I can hear a sort of rattle from the front part of my car. Im almost positive its from my wheel well area. I tried shaking my brake shield and it seemed very secure. I haven't removed my wheel to lurk around yet. I dont know what it is, but it has become really audible recently. I think it also happens on my passenger side as well, but the sound from the drivers side is almost to overwhelming to even hear the other side. I dont hear it much when my window is closed. I only really notice it when the windows are open.

Any Ideas?

I have a similar problem... Shop tried to tell me that it was the right front shock going bye-bye. But I occasionally hear the same noise when starting the car on an incline. All exhaust hangers & etc seem fine.. the noise is starting to drive me nuts though....

Sounds like it might be a cracked engine mount for you.
