YOU can TURN off YOUR caps LOCK now. WE can HEAR you JUST fine.

The engine is rubber and fluid mounted and the tranny is rubber mounted. It is typical for the shifter to move around. As for the noise going over bumps, try tightening down your spare tire or re-arranging your passenger seat and seat belt.

You could also be hitting the suspension stop with the bumps. No big deal.

Its not the passenger seat, maybe the spare tire, as i havent checked it.The noise seems to be coming from the front of the vehicle, I wanna say front, passenger side, up front like something suspension maybe.It is like a rattle noise, metal on metal, sounds loose.

Nope, It isn't the spare tire making me crazy either!!!!
I can't find the noise still....

Loose, stick-on wheel weight?

I have Volk GTNSs...could be a wheel weight but I dunno
I'll have to get my car jacked up and take a look underneath, with a a mechanic friend of course.

You should be able to reach through the spokes of the rim and feel each weight to see if they are good and stuck on.
Some years ago, a similar post was put up here be someone who had this sort of noise. Lots of diagnostics took place, with some trips to the dealership, resulting in nothing being resolved. It was much later discovered that one of his wheel weights were flopping around when he hit a bump just in a certain way.
