Default Rattling Noise

I'm a new Magnum owner. I have a 05 RT. When I'm going about 65 I start to hear a rattling noise coming from the front of the car. As i go faster the noise gets louder. Any idea what it might be?

Default RE: Rattling Noise

haha. I had the same issue last week. I took my car in and the tech said my aftermarket grille was the reason for the noise.

concern: Rattle / tapping noise in the left front fender area when driving at highway speeds.
solution: The driver side bumper light wiring harness may be out of place causing it to move back and forth while hitting against the foam bumper pad.
Reinstall / replace the plastic tree back into the hole and tape the wiring harness against the foam bumper pad as necessary


Try this TSB with them:
