Got a rattle at the front end of the Rangie when hitting potholes etc. It sounds like a loose bolt or a loose shackle type noise but cant find anything. Will check again tomorrow but at a loss at the mo.
Any advice please :)
 
Going with shocks
cant see anything loose but do they rattle if knackered?
 
Sounds like it then.
I'll see if I can whip them off next week and have a look, found a loose bolt in the bumper and thought that was it, too easy that though:)
 
Its more likely to be the rollbar drop links,when these are worn even slightly(no perceptable movement) they make a knocking sound that is loud and expensive,but are infact cheap to replace,about £12 per pair on the internet.

i had this problem with 3 classics recently, all had worn front brake callipers, so the brake pads made the awful rattle each time a bump was hit. take the pads out , give tem a clean up, and a good dollop of copper grease and see if it stops..
