Check in the engine bay under your battery since thats the pass side.
Or look at the cable that runs down the pass fender into the engine bay. Mine rattle against the fender and makes that kind of noise.
Could be an upper CA bushing.

I dont think thats the problem, as the sound Im getting is a creaking noise mostly, the "rocks in a can" noise..

I dont know what to do, was having a look under the front right today and everything looked pretty good.

Heard the rattle again today on the highway doing around 120km/h.
I then had to stop at a light, and when I applied the brakes, it sounded like a crunch.
After starting again and getting back up to speed I didnt hear the noise again, and with my braking I didnt hear it either.
I got NOO clue what the noise is..

Same thing happened to me it ended up being my carden joint on the front drive shaft.......
I rebuilt the front drive shaft using parts from a grand cherokee front drive shaft which took care of the noise.....G/L

i know you said it sounds like the front, but have you checked out the rear brakes?
maybe a cracked/broken front coil spring, where it sits in the bucket.

Yes the rear looks good, have checked that over.
I will take a look at my coils and see, but last time I looked at em they looked fine.

Well guys, I decided to take a stab at it today on my own... changed the drivers side wheel bearing... guess what? driver's side sounds like a brand new car... silent. Now to do the passenger side. Maybe we're experiencing different problems here, but it certainly cleaned mine right up. Will be doing the passenger side next paycheck.
