Default Rattling noise from front wheels...

Own a '06 Civic EX -- Current mileage ~93,000. Recently I noticed rattling noise coming from passenger front wheel, and to lesser extent the driver's side wheels when going over rough surfaces/bumps. Basically what happens is that every time I hit a pot hole the wheels will rattle in quick succession corresponding to the bumps. Also, it seems like I'm not getting as much of support as I used i.e. every bump I hit seems a lot "jittery" to the whole car than it used to be. Can someone suggest some things that could be wrong with the car?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

I'm having the same issues with my 01 Civic. As i'm driving down th road all I hear is a ding ding sound. Like if it is metal to metal. I'm about to change the entire control arm, struts with mount, and ball joints to see if it helps. Is that going a little over board in the repair?

Check your shock/strut see if it blown. Blown shock feel like you can't control when driving on even surface, but not related to clinking noise.

I would also check the swaybar linkage on both sides if they are broken or worn out they will make noises too
