Sounds like it could be a whole host of problems. Could be worn/broken shocks, worn/broken shock mounts, worn suspension bushings and/or tie rods etc. Have a competent mechanic look at it for you and see what the problem is.

I appreciate your quick response. That would be great, but unfortunately a mechanic is out of the question right now, due to a lack of funds. I am trying to figure out any diagnosis techniques for a shade-tree mechanic (me) without a car lift. Thanks!

I have a 2005 toyota solara. While driving down the road, especially bumpy roads, you can hear a rattle that sounds like it is coming from the front part of the car. Any ideas on how to diagnose this problem or what the problem could possibly be?
