Default Suspension Rattle?

I have hada rattle either in the front or middle driver's side of my 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500. The problem isn't the well known "steering column knock". The rattle will only happen when i go over a bump on the driver's side. I have been under the truck numerous times and can not find anything loose or anything that could be causing this. Any Ideas?

I would just turn the radio up louder and ignore it.

Hey jlbond,

Did you find a solution? I'm having a similar rattle in my rear-end.

Thanks,

Phil
