[A4] mysterious front end rattle on '03 A4 AVANT

[David M. Weprin]

My A4 did the exact same thing within the first 5k miles.

It was a bad front lower control arm joint.  It was covered under Warranty
and I had my car back within 8 hours.

  A rattle has been developing over the last few months, and it seems to be
getting worse.  When I hit a bump with a front wheel, I hear a high-pitched
rattle (like loose washers on a bolt, or light chains) that seems to be
coming from the front end. I can only hear it with the windows open, and it
seems that the driver's side is much more pronounced than the passenger
side; but there do seem to be 2 distinct rattles, one from each side.  Only
12K on the car, what could have come loose already??!!!  Thanks in advance
for any light you can shed on a vexing problem.
