Rattle in Front of Engine...

Last week I noticed I had a really loud rattle, that I could here like 20 feet away from my car, I thought it was the exaust at first, so since I was putting a new exaust on, I thought not to worry about it, So when I got my new exaust on I noticed that it was still rattling, It sounds like it is coming from around my fan area, I have a engine driven fan, So I tightened the fan and compressor, and every where that I could tighten and it still rattles, It only seems to rattle when the engine warms up. Can anyone give me any ideas where this could be coming from?? Thanks Greg

Look under the car to see if the a/c lines are attached to the bottom of the radiator well enough. That is a likely cause.

Water pump? Fan clutch?

I put my car on ramps and got under it, A tranny line that was going into my radiator was really loose and a bracket broke so, I replaced it and so far it hasn't done it.. Thanks everyone!
