I hear a rattle/bumping sound from the front end when I drive over uneven pavement. My first thought was suspension related, but I'm not sure. I don't get the usual popping, or clunking that would point to balljoints or bushings, and I have put the car on jackstands and inspected the suspension. I'm sure the car could use some new bushings, but I didn't detect any play or excess wear.
I am beginning to think it may be coming from the exhaust system. It sounds like it is coming from under the floorboard. I installed solid engine mounts a couple of months ago, and now I'm wondering if the mounts have lifted the engine to a point that the catalytic converters are making contact with something underneath. I didn't check that when I was under the car, so I don't know if there are clearance issues or not. Does this seem likely?
