After looking for the front end rattle on my 2002 Dodge Caravan for at least 5 years and changing the struts and sway bar links I finaly found it when my radiator started to leak. After pulling the radiator I saw that the trans cooler had broken loose from the mount it was attached to. It is attached to the very flimsy mount with 4 aluminum pop rivets which were all broken. The cooler was floppiing up and down and the lines attached to it were banging on the inside of the sheet metal they were running thru. I drilled a hole in the upper and lower mounts and ran a piece of allthread between them and secured them with nuts and lock washers on each side . This brought the the mounts tightly against the cooler. I also wrapped some wire over the mounts to keep them aligned on the cooler.On the other side I cut some pieces of heater hose and wrapped them around the lines so they would't rattle against the sheet metal they ran thru. This fixed the problem.
