Have you got under and had a good look mate?
Classic symptoms of worn ball joints.
Jack up the front so that the tyre is clear of the ground (put on some stands).
Grab the top and bottom of the wheel and shake in and out...if there is any movement you have issues. If you do get movement, get a hand so you can try and see where the movement is. _________________

Did this rattle noise suddenly come on when driving? If so the things may of rattle them self like that which means the threads or something is stuffed.
It might be your best bet to get new bolt or whatever caused the problem in the first place.
You dont want to be mucking around with that stuff.
Goodluck _________________
