You hear a rattling noise coming from beneath you more from the front end than anywhere else it sounds like metal and you hear it when you are driving in low gears and more on uneven road but it's is all ways there it's sound like something moving and gently tapping against each other but as I said the suspension is not right so I was just wondering if the rattling is anything to do with the suspension.
I have just had the same thing on my freelander , it was the anti roll bar linkages the bushes weren't split but there was far to much play , once changed the noise went and the front end felt like it should . There not expensive and easy enough to DIY .
LOL Check the bushes of the torque tension bar saddles. Either they are loose or the bushes are shot. The are located on the front axle and the saddles is fastened down on the cross member.
SOURCE: front suspension noise-dull rattle-thumping sound,bumpy roads
look at the front lower engine mount. I had similar noise which has been driving me nuts, thought may be thesway bar links, put it on friends hoist and saw that the front engine mount (mounted to bottom of lower radiator support) was cracked and the rubber bushing inside very worn with pieces missing. odd thing is that reving, or putting into gear never caused it to make a noise, just certain bumps. I ordered part from Autozone,hopefully it gets here before the holiday week end is over.
Good luck
SOURCE: Suspension knock on small bumps
Could be anti roll bar isolator bushes starting to wear or link rods,
SOURCE: When I drive over rough roads I feel like a rattle
Check the stabilizer bar bushings, links, ball joints, and tie rod ends for play (looseness)
