Front Suspension Rattling Sound

Check the anti rattle clips in the master cylinder. I had the noise aswell and found the brake pads were making the noise. They are those cheap little steel things that hold the pads tight.

You mean the calipers?

It may be a heat shield as I saw a YouTube video about a heat shield causing a rattle. I know it's an old video and on a F150 but I thought it might be worth a look.

I’d be curious to hear if this is it. I got up under mine and the heat shield was loose. Tightened it down and I still have a rattle. So that wasn’t the culprit.

I have a rattle going over bumps

Wish I had a lift so I can investigate

I have a rattle when going over expansion cracks or other similar things, also, while on washboard dirt road it sounds like a ************* truck it's so bad.

It doesn't seem like IWE, it kinds sounds like a lose metal panel, like maybe the skid plate, but I haven't had any luck finding the problem.

I finally discovered what my rattle was. I was missing a brake pad anti rattle clip. The fix was less than $1 and easy to install. So, every time I went over a small bump the brake pad that was missing the clip would rattle. Sanity has returned!
