I would check your ball joints. It's simple enough.
Here's a quick video I found on UTube.

If it's truly a rattling noise I wouldn't necessary assume ball joints.
I recently replace both the upper and lower ball joints because I was getting a popping noise when I went around corners and over bumps. I used the method shown in the video and found slop in my lower ball joints.
Replacing the ball joints was fun. The upper ball joints are pressed in and the bottom ball joint are held in with four (big) rivets.
