Need help figuring out suspension rattle
whenever I drive over rough back roads and sometimes on the highway I get a rattle coming from the drivers side suspension. It sounds like something is loose and two pieces of metal are rubbing together. any ideas what it might be and how to fix it? TIA

Most common are suspension arms and tie rod ends. Is it the front?
If there is a rattling coming from the front an easy test for TRE is to jack the car up a little and try to tilt the wheel from side to side. If it moves then it's the Tie Rod End.
