Mine is doing a similar thing...went today and got it looked at. Looks like a right front sway bar link. With it up on the lift, putting pressure on the sway bar link with my hands/arms, I could make it make the same noise I hear over those small little bumps. Probably will replace both at some point sooner than later.

Let me know when you find out what it is on your end.

Did you figure out what it was? I ordered a L and R droplink from Pelican for about $50 each and installed them both today. Was the first time I have ever done this, and it took me about an hour and a half for the first one and then 45 minutes for the second one. No more rattle on the front end, and I saved about $150-$250 depending on which shop I could have taken it to (got a few different quotes before deciding to do it myself).

No, haven't figured it out yet. Checked the drop links and the bushings are fine and they seem tight. I'll eventually get it figured ou
