Rattle in my tundra - TundraTalk.net

i got an '06 4 door tundra with the 4.7. its got 13k miles on it now and recently a rattle appeared which sounds like its coming from suspension above the front left tire. i usually hear it when covering potholes and such and/or a hard left turn. any suggestions on how to fix or where to start lookin?

I had a similar noise in my '07 dc w/ 5.7. Sounded like birds chirping over left front wheel every time I hit a bump in the road. Was bugging the crap out of me. Thought it might have been the suspension but then noticed it happened when I shut the driver's door hard too. Opened the hood and started banging around with my hand. Got a chirping noise when I thumped the top side of the radiator. Tightened the bolts on the frame in front of the radiator (think there was about four or so to include the ones that mount the horn). Not sure which bolt did the trick, but that fixed it for 5k miles since so far. BTW, most bolts did not move, but I applied pressure anyway.
