Chain Jingling?

Chain Jingling?
Whenever I hit a bump, whether it be a pothole, major or minor, or the expanding joints at each end of a bridge, I hear a "jingling" sound from the right side (it seems) of the truck. I have crawled under it, and have no idea where it's coming from.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I would check the exhaust - heat shields, clamps (if you have any), hangers, etc. Is your spare tire installed, if so is it tight? Make sure nobody played a trick on you and put nuts and bolts in your center cap. I have also heard the rods that lock/unlock the door and that work the door latch assembly make a noise if they arent installed in the plastic retainers. Just a few ideas.

Ah.....well...I....found my problem, lol.
I also found out why the truck leans to the left slightly up front. My right side stabilizer link is GONE. Only the metal bolt remained, which jingled when I hit a bump.
Is it dangerous to drive it like that? I would highly doubt so, I mean, I've driven it a thousand miles with it that way, who knows how long before me.
I do plan on replacing it, but..I mean..does it really hurt anything?
Wasn't expecting that, lol.
