Question Slow speed rattling problem going over little bumps

08 Fit.

I wonder what this is? It almost sounds like a slightly loose strut but they seem to be tight. It started out on the passenger side and now both sides are rattling like crazy. The noise seems to go away at higher speeds.

IIRC you did the starter, make sure everything is nice and tight

Is this a somewhat short rattle or a single *CLONK* ?
I had both stabiliser bar links broken at some point to the bar was basically bouncing on the control arms over every road bump.

Just in case, the links are parallel to the shocks, you can grasp them when the wheels are turned to check if they're correctly attached.
