Odd rattling sound over bumps

[mhallack]

I've had this problem since I bought my 94XLT in March. Over bumps I get this rattling sound, almost sounds like porcelin plates hitting each other. The truck doesn't jiggle too violently over big bumps or anything out of the unusual, but just that weird sound. Though the shocks are ok for now, I do intend to replace them soon. Any ideas what is causing the sound?

a few things to check even though it's hard to determine with no video or not being there. Sway Bar links, broken leaf spring, control arm bushings, shock bushings.

My digital camera bit the dust recently, but will see if my camera on my phone can provide any video. I know it's real vague description, sorry. Once I can get video I will post it. Also it seems to be coming from the front only.

Check your radius arm bushings. Also, stand on the side of your tires, grip the tops and rock hard back and forth with the truck on the ground.
