Default Front hub rattling on small bumps

Anyone else have their hub start to feel loose and make noise over bumps?

I just had new schocks installed and right after the front right is making a rattle and the wheel has a wiggle.

If you have had this problem what part did you replace it with?

Make sure your tie rods and ball joints have all been tightened.

Another thing: On the front shock; sometimes the nut on top of the spring perch doesn't get tightened down enough and it causes a noise.

Thanks for the tips because my driver side had a noise on turns now and I think it is coming from around the tie rod.
