EG Hatch - front of car seems loose, rattling when going over bumps
So when I'm driving and I go over bumps it seems like the front of my car is loose, kind of rattling. Mostly over small bumps. Like when there is cracks in the road or something. So intially I fixed the following stuff on my car to fix the problem:
Half-shafts
Diff(changed to LSD)
I've read a lot of stuff online, and it seems like I may need to change the engine mounts next. Any idea's, thoughts, or imput?
Thanks in advance.

Re: EG Hatch question...
Man thats a hard one to figure out through a forum but I seen more then plenty of times a rattling over speed bumps or cracks in the road come from a loose heat shield or something with the exhaust... motor mounts will make a knocking sound more then rattling imo hope this helps some if you can give anymore detail that would be great

Re: EG Hatch question...
Start from the bottom up, check everything. What i'd do is lift the car safely on jackstands and just start carefully shaking things to see if there's unusual play.
1) Tires (12x6 and 9x3 check)
2) Wheels
3) Studs/Lugs
4) Wheel Bearing
5) Axles
6) Springs/Struts and that camber kit too
7) Tie-Rod
8) other bushings
9) exhaust
10) engine mounts
11) any thing else hanging or loose.
