Rattle in driver's side of engine

It is real quiet but loud enough to drive me nuts. Anyone know of a TSB on this?

What year and how many miles? I started getting it on my '03 at 50k, Rashab, another orger has it at 40 something. Mine went away when I changed the plugs. No TSB that I know of.

Possible noise answer....

I've been a lurker on here quite a bit lately and finally found a poster that I might be able to help out.....

I had a "quiet" rattle coming from the front of the car.... I drove with the rattle for a few days before taking it in to the shop. They found the problem quickly... it was a loose link in the suspension. They replaced the links on both sides of the sway bar and now the rattle is gone.
