Noises from what sounds like the shock?
So a while ago I recently noticed some strange noises coming from the front left corner of the car. I at first didn't notice it because it sounds a lot like running over one of those metal grates in the street, kind of a metal clangy noise and then realized every time i was on a bumpy street it would just do it over and over again.
I recently installed a new exhaust and was worried some of the bolts were coming out but i've since checked and retorqued all the bolts down there so it's not that.
If I run over small bumps on the right side of my car there is no noise, but on the left side it makes a very prominent clangy noise.
I'm totally lost on this.. I have truly no idea and can't test for it easily because I need to be driving to make the noise. Please mention it if you have any ideas..

No idea why it started rattling.. But it was a very simple fix.
Unfortunately, there are still a few little rattling noises that need to be dealt with, they are much quieter and from a different location, sounds like it might be the exhaust but i just retorqued all the bolts so who knows.
More importantly.. While I had the wheel off i noticed this... If I'm not mistaken that looks like a servo connected to the sway bar links with a broken bolt.
What in the world do I do about this..?
