    I have an 04 Grand Prix gt, it recently started making a clunking/ rattle when going over small bumps. It won't rattle when I'm turning, only going stright. I took the tire off and didn't find anything I thought was loose. Any ideas where to look would be Appreciated.

    open the hood and shake the car back and forth and look at your strut mounts.

    Sway links are another common issue.
