Cool 1970 Mustang Boss 302 Front End Noises!

Hey fellow Must-angers. I own a 70 Boss 302. It has 80K miles and I had this car since 1995.
Ive replace the Uppers/Lowers/Tires/Brakes/Etc...
Ive looked under that car for hours.
Ive greased it real well.
I even opted for KONIS.

The Front end sounds terrible over small bumps. Ive s cowered the sites for answers and I'm afraid I'm in dire need of suggestions.
Please help, New to this site.
-All the best

Also Are All Your Insulators Rubber Vs any Silicone Type Insulators.Those Have To Have a Special Lube!

Yep My Daughters Fairlane was a Squeeker! Same Suspension! Oh What a Pain To Put On! I Got a Special Tool on Ebay Years Ago to Do it! Don't Forget The Spring Seat Saddles If They Don't Come in Kit!

Cool Noise

Found it. I feel stupid. The lic-plate bracket was loose. I hand washed the car the other night. I cleaned off the front plate and the bracket was loose, it almost fell off.

No Sweat, Back in The Day The Mother in Laws Rear License Plate Frame Would Rattle To Beat The Band. It Was a Hatch Wagon Mercury Tracer! Took awhile To Find That Rattle! Thanks For Coming Back & Sharing. Wish Everybody Did After Figuring Out Issue!

Everyone that uses these sites should post issue and resolutions. Thats the purpose of the forums.
Even if the simplest of resolutions, I can't tell you how many hours I spent chasing down that rattle.
All the best. Great site.
