Default Front end noise

So in an effort to get some action on the "7" board..............I have a noise in the front drivers area. The noise is heard when the suspension is in motion. Sounds like something is loose or broken. Any thoughts, past experiences, or likely culprits?

P.S. I finally learned the proper cooling system bleeding technique. Yahoo!

It turns out the noise is the top of the strut banging into the underside of the hood. The rubber shock mount is broken.

I'd suggest the rubber shock mount is broken.

Your suggestion is well founded. Upon examination the rubber shock mount was indeed broken. FIXED!
