Since I don't have a lo profile jack I just went out in the garage......when I take the heel of my hand and hit the caliper, I hear something that sound like it could be the noise.
What causes a rattle when going over bumps? I'm getting annoyed!!!!

10 bucks its your brakes... Grease the pins in the calipers and get some brake quiet or get new pads.
drive up on some boards and then you can get a regular floor jack underneath
Just make sure they're still in place when you lower jack
Greasing those caliper pins seems to be a short-lived solution but it's probably where your rattle is coming from
Also check dust shields.
mu22stang recently posted that bending them slightly at each rivet can quiet them down....

That pin, even though its in there, can cause a rattle?
I'm pretty sure they're rattling on mine.
It went away after I did my last brake job but noise has returned.
I'm going to try new hardware and see what happens
I guess it's also possible that spring shims on pads have lost some tension, allowing pads to rattle :shrug:

same problem here too
I just bought my cobra like 2 months ago and i had a simular problem last month. I had a rattle coming from my rear shock. The bilstein strut on the rear has a bushing then a metal circle plate on top of the bushing wich makes sure you dont bottom out the shock. All of this is under the blue boot. On mine somehow i dont know how but the bushing slides down the strut and it the metal circle plate makes a rattle noise every time it hits a bump. I hope that makes sence and hope that might help you out. So to stop the noise i pushed up the bushing tight against the plate and it stopped making the noise.

I had H&R race springs put on in 2007 and I think the shop would have noticed something like that.....I'd hope.
When I hit the caliper with my hand, I hear something. I wonder if the caliper is loose or something right at the wheel is loose.
Try hitting just the strut with your hand to see if that makes the noise.
I did...I hit everything!
It seems to make noise if I push the caliper. I wonder if its the caliper being loose, or the rotor!

This is entirely possible.
How is the rotor and caliper attached?
Pardon my noob-ish technical skills.

my noise is 100% brakes. went over a bumpy road was rattling like hell, put my foot on the brake just enough for the caliper to squeeze a little but not bring the car to a stop and the rattling stopped. let off the brake started back up
What was the problem?
I would like to know too what is causing the rattling noise.
Gay gay gay gay gay!!!
The driver's side dust shield was really loose, so the shop drilled all of the rivets and replaced them with nuts and bolt with loc-tite.
I like my car again!
