Default Rattling

Afternoon all-

I bought a 2013 F150 SuperCrew 5.0 V8 last May and I noticed about a month ago there was a slight rattle in the front right of the vehicle when I went over bumpy terrain. Within the last 2 weeks it has become more noticeable even on 'smoother' streets. At first I thought it might be a wheelbearing, checked it, thats still good. I took a look at the front right shock, it appears to be ok. My next thought is an isolator cushion, a mount, sway bar link or a bushing. A buddy suggested possibly a bearing plate, and then realized a truck wouldn't have a bearing plate.

Anyone else experience this or have a best guess on where to start?

Thanks!

I'm chasing one down myself.

It's either exhaust or a door in my skid plate.

Mine rattles and a very specific RPM.

Usually a brake caliber, strut tower bolts, or that skid plate "door".

Mine I chased for a year and it was the skid plate door.
