Default got a rattle....

Its coming from the front driver corner. I have had it on the frame lift with the suspension unloaded and cant duplicate the sound, I've had it on the drive up lift with te suspension at ride height and still cant make i do it. Its a higher pitched metallic sound... I'm beginning to think its a bumper bolt or something... has anyone experienced anything like this?

I've beat the hell out of almost every part in there with a rubber hammer to try to make it produce the sound, and it wont. It just does it going down the road when you hit a bump or a small hole...

check the break caliber and or bracket.

What does it do at full lock, when going up or over a speed bump, or a driveway

Have you done any suspension work lately? I ask cause I had a similar sound after installing my 1" shorter coils and it was the rubber sleeve on the lower mount that wasn't on quite right. I could push down on the truck with it on its wheels and it would squeak, and it would do it when I hit bumps or going over speed bumps and such.
