Okay so have this rattle that started about a month ago and has progressively worsened. Occurs over any rough patch of pavement, to include driveway ledges, road paint, road cracks, etc. does not occur over larger bumps that’s I would describe as a slow compression. Only on fast compression.

I’ve tightened everything I can think of, trac bar, sway end links, shock mounts, uppers/lowers, and check to make sure the springs were seated correctly.

video attached, might be tough to hear but it’s right at the beginning. I’ve tried rocking the jeep back and forth on flat ground and got a good tilt going but can’t replicate the sound.

Sway bars did not change anything.
Really sat and thought about the sound and what would be causing it.

Drove over some smooth but large bumps that fully compressed the suspension, the sound does not occur when doing that. Which leads me to believe it’s not necessarily something suspension related.

Decided to walk around the jeep and start tapping/hitting random parts with some force. Got to the passenger tire, could hear the sound faintly. Went to the driver tire, can head the sound perfectly. Time to pinpoint it.

Hard to tell from the video, but almost sounds internal. Maybe in the dash or glove box area?
