I've had this rattle under the front end. Every time I would hit a bump it would sound like the front fenders were going to fall off.
Today I jacked it up and had my wife push on the fenders to try and locate the noise. sure enough we found it. On the radiator support where it bolts to the frame cross member the rubber bushing were completely gone. Replaced them with some nylon bushings I had, replaced the bolts and now the noise is gone. Time for more road miles.
