Default 2013 Platinum 4x4 Rattle

As mentioned above. Have a rattle... almost like shaking a spray paint can... rattle noise coming from left front of vehicle. 45-70mph more when I'm turning little right on rough road. Took it into Ford yesterday and they say that everything is tight ... nothing to fix.
I did a google search and I see these possible problems but mostly for older vehicles not one that has 14000 miles on it:

brake pads / clips
center hub cover on wheel
axle cv joint
sway bar link / bushings

Bringing it back on Friday as it has not gone away. Anyone else had this issue and how did it get resolved.

Thanks

^^^Bought a new Crown Vic, rattle in the rear. Line worker didn't tighten the lower right shock nut. I hope yours is something simple. Good luck.

Do you dive dusty roads?

And is your hearing good enough to determine direction?

Is the rattle inside or outside?

I would start looking at the heat shields on the exhaust and see if something is rattling against the exhaust pipe. It couldn't hurt to take a look.
