Default Sounds like loose keys...

Just running this by the masses but Ive noticed more lately, but I have this noise coming from the front left side of the rig mostly over speed humps or tiny bumps in the road. I have the windows open when I hear it so its not noticeable (or loud enough I should say) to hear with them up. It sounds like keys jingling and nothing is loose steering linkage wise I dont think, so any inputs??? Thanks

check the little thing that you tighten down on the coil srpings to keep them in place

Mine has the same problem for a while I thought it was parts jingling around in the break drums (one wasn't put together correctly and all the little pieces fell apart). I finally got around to fixing my rear brakes and it still jingles on bumps. Sounds just like keys jingling, pretty annoying.
