    Could be your STRUTS or your strut mounts.... get them both checked, any decent garage can check them pretty fast...

    make sure the nuts(19mm) securing the tops of of the struts are tight. I suggest using an air gun and you'll need to have the car fully on the ground.

    yea the 19mm is the one in the middle.

    the three surrounding it mount the strut assembly to the chassis.

    Make sure all the bolts are tight. Get a torque wrench and a factory service manual and go through all your chassis hardware. Also, I noticed on mine that the fender bolts were loose among other things like the headlights, washer bottle, skidplate, dash panels, something living in the trunk,...YEAH - knocks, squeaks, and rattles drive me nuts!!! BUY ONLY GENUINE MOOG OR TRD CHASSIS COMPONENTS - there's some counterfeit parts out there that are just plain dangerous and not worth the $$ you save.<br />
    <br />
    If you still can't find the noise go visit a few trusted garages to get second and third opinions.
