Default Mystery noise

There is a clinging coming from somewhere in the front of my car. It sounds like an exhaust clamp on the control arm ... or for those less imaginative, a penny in a soda can. It's very distinctive and annoying, I am deathly afraid it's something serious as I can't afford much right now..

Any ideas

just an Idea, if you have a NTB tire place around you they used to do free alingment checks and would tell you if they found anything that needed replacing. You could just let them take a look and see what they find.

If its a 2.7 check the heat sheilds on the cats. One of those may have come loose.
