A few weeks ago my car started making noises in the front end. It seems to be most apparent when I go over small bumps. It sounds like something is loose and wobbly, when I go over bumps, sounds like something may fall out. Today I noticed a new sound, kinda sounds like a small squeeking noise when going over some of the smaller bumps. The louder loose sound is much more apparent. Any thoughts?

i would be checking the ball joints for looseness, this can be done by jacking up the front end and shaking the tire, and looking for where the play is from.
