passenger side rattle when accelerating

3 weeks ago I heard a single loud knock while accelerating from a stop. This happened a couple of random times. Now for the past 2 weeks, I hear a rattle whenever I accelerate. Like there's something lose flopping around somewhere.

This MAY be related but i'm not sure...I replaced my top engine mount 4 weeks ago.

Looks like someone had an identical issue but there wasn't a solution posted

Any ideas?

I'd check the sway bar bushings and endlinks.

I think i figured it out. The screw holding the top motor mount to the car frame was loose! No idea how that happened. I'm pretty sure i had tightened it very well.
