Rattling sound from passenger side
Is anyone else having this issue????for the past few days i have been getting some rattling sound from the passenger side of my 07 unlimited... im goin to get under it and take a look tomorrow. I notice it while driving not idling, i notice it mostly when going at lower speeds, probably due to road noise reduction... sounds like a dull rattle, not really a metallic sound.. ugh yet another problem ...

Everything stock? Goes with bumps? Goes with suspension movement? Goes with steering?

This sounds absurdly obvious, but have you checked to make sure your jack and lug wrench are tightly secured? I had a rattle over bumps that turned out to be my lug wrench.
Now the squeak I get from the rear wheels is a different story...

Everyhting stock, happens when rolling no bumps needed no steering needed ... i did look and found i was missing a nut or fastener under the fender.. i used the nut that hold the carpet down under the drivers seat, that seemed to hold and i didnt hear it while driving for a while but then started to hear it again.. i noticed a fair amount of play in the inner fender. i want that to be it but it happens even when it rolls slow. i also had a small silver screw fall out from the dash and on to my right foot when i was driving the other day that was pretty awesome... thanks for posting that link ... i must say out of all the problems i have had this is by far the most annoying.. may be the least serious but that sound!

I had a similar issue. I check all kinds of things and could not locate it. Passengers told me the felt it in the floor as well. Well this weekend when I was installing my home made boat side plates, (pictures will be posted soon) my son said Dad this silver thing is loose. What I found was the cheap sheet-metal nuts holding the heat shield on fell off. It turned out to be my heat shield banging against the tub. I fixed it today with 2 fender washers, and two 6mm X 1.0 nuts with lock-tight.
Good as new and no more noise.
