Rattling, Clunking, and/or Clicking noise at low speed

I'm constantly hearing a noise from the front passenger-side when driving at low speeds. What does it sound like?...two half-inch-diameter steel rods lightly clanking together. It's very noticeable when the windows are down. When the windows are up, it sounds more like a dampened rattle. Has anyone else experienced this or have any thoughts on what it could be? Cheers

Check your passenger side motor mount, they tend to squeak after a while.

Pop your hood, grab the engine near the passenger side mount and rock the engine back and forth (front to back). If you hear a squeaking sound, replace the mount or install a powerflex insert.

Hope this could be of some help!

Check your CV Axles... I know some have failed early. look for grease from the cv axle at either end as it sprays everywhere. Just food for thought.....[driving]

Do you have an aftermarket radiator? I had an issue at low speeds where the condencer pipe was tapping against my Mishi radiator. I just put some foam tape between the two (on the side tank, not the fins) and its been smooth sailing since.

Just an update:
The noise was a tpms sensor rattling around inside the tire. It was broken apart in a few pieces. Maybe I hit a pot hole where the sensor was located.
