Default weird rattling noise front driver side

If I drive over a few bumps at slow speeds the front driver side has this rattling noise almost like the suspension is loose I have the FX3 and its on touring setting never tried it if it does it in sport or performance, but would that have anything to do with it?? well if you have any ideas let me know
thanks

its a 95 coupe with 57000 miles :chevy

A good place to check first is the brake caliper. Its typical for them to loosen as the pins/holes get beat up. I just machined my own oversized pins worked beautiful. Try there first if caliper moves at all as you try to move it by hand its likely the culprit. Good luck. :smash:

Dom, check your ball joints while you're at it. Do the 12 & 6 test...jack the car up enough to get the front wheels off the ground (you can do one side at time) and place your hands at 12 and 6 o'clock and try to rock the tire by pushing on those points...if you have movement, your ball joints need replacing
