Noticing a rattling noise coming from front of car when I start out driving past three weeks, thought it was overly bumby roads from overly hot summer, but not so sure now - do not notice it on the freeway. Struts? Or???

Thanks!

Time for an inspection at a tire and alignment shop. Worn struts tend to cause a dull thumping sound. Anti-sway bar links and bushings, control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, and loose brake pads are some of the things they'll look at.
