Default Front End Ratttttle

94......I've been looking for this rattle for weeks..I believe I have narrow it down to the brake calipers. I have talk to other owners that say they have the same problem. Going slow,hit a small bump you can hear it. Had the front wheels off,moved the calipers around... this way that way heard the same noise....QUESTION? Is there suppose to be some kind of shim or something in there to keep it from doing that.....

My rattle was the pads, anti rattle goop in the little red bottle spread on the back of the pads fixed that!

I had a rattle when I went over bumps similar to what you describe. It turned out to be a lose front shock. Check all your shock mounting bolts.
