Default wrx bug eye front rattle

hi not sure if anyone can help? ive had an annoying rattle front passenger side which is getting worse, sounds like some loose change, metal on metal sound.

it started when i was just going over small bumps but sometimes you can now hear it driving down the road.

ive had the drop links changed and checked to see if they fitted ok and wondered what other common things front end would create the noise i keep hearing?

also have had new tein springs fitted so its not a broken coil.

many thanks if anyone can help me out

Do you have big mudflaps on it? If so give them a flap backwards and forwards by hand - the PVC ones can make a rattle noise as they aren't very rigid.

Check your brake pads and retaining springs are in place. They can move without them and cause rattles
