Unhappy Chirping Rattle?

This is my first post on a great site. I have a '90 vert that has chirping sound when ever I hit some bumps....somthing is loose or coming apart from the front end...maybe more towards the passenger side? This has been driving me nuts for a couple of years. It seems to be worse after the car has warmed up. I know this is vague, but am hoping to get some direction from someone who has experienced the same. Thanks in advance for any replies. Dave

From the front...as if one of the struts were loose at the shock tower, but all of that is tight...have had my wife drive with me in the passenger seat and all I can say is that the sound is in front of me on the other side of the fire wall. Thanks

I found a passenger side rattle after much searching, it was junk in the glove box..
Yours may be body work.
Does the hood go down tight?
Any loose bumper or fender braces?

Take some WD-40 and spray the shocks and then drive it and see if it still squeks. It sounds like it just needs some lubricant. Also just go threw and spray all the suspension joints, and make sure not to get any on the brakes!!!
