right front rattles

When going around corners or turning the wheel some times it makes a rattlen noise. Have fairly new struts, bearings, & ball joints. The noise is just on the passenger side. Any suggestions!

Even though the noise is only apparent on the RH side, does it happen when you turn in either direction?

It does ever know and then. It really dont matter which way I'm turning the wheel. I do know that it is comeing from the right side. I've been told that it could be one of the bushings.

bushing, or strut mount may be bad, did you get them done recently also?

Yeah. I got the struts when I did the bearings and ball joints. The bushings is what most people say that it could be.

Does it sound like coins in your pocket? If it does, it's sway bar end links.

If it sounds more liks a metal plate rattling, almost a clattering sort of sound, it's your brake pads.

It sounds sort of a clang. The brakes just got put on about a month and a half ago. The sound was there before and after that. It just makes the sound sometimes, not ever time I'm driven.
