I had the worst rattle that I kept thinking was something in the front passenger side suspension ..... ended up that the exhaust clamp closest to the Y pipe came loose and was clanking every time I went over a bump. I didn't even think about the exhaust until about a year later I could hear the exhaust leak on startup.

I got something like that when I turn up a driveway or a in to a parking lot from the street. Rear sway bar links? I've had it forever but I cant pinpoint it.
