Default Big Bump or Little Bump, Big Rattle

Ok excuse the strange thread title.

I am trying to find a rattle. At first I thought it was the sway bar links...I got under the car and checked it out and they seem nice and tight. It seems to be coming from the wheel area. I think it is just driver side but a buddy of mine thinks it is from the passenger side also. I hear it alot say when I hit the deflectors between lanes usually at low speeds, sounds like my car is dropping change or something. I am at a loss, it doesn't matter what speed I am traveling it always sounds the same. I am a little suspension deprived when it comes to knowledge about the subject but I know the sound of bad sway bar links and thats what this sounds like but they look fine.

If the sounds coming from the front it could be bad a arm bushings,ball joints or tie rod ends. It could also be your shocks. Just start looking around and checking to see if you if any thing is loose.

Engine and suspension all stock. Car has 145k miles on it. Wheels and hood are the only changes.
