Metallic Rattle / Pulse on Drivers Side

I’m trying to figure out what this sound is. It sounds like it’s coming from the steering wheel area. It’s a metallic grinding, and happens more on rough road surfaces.

If anyone else has had this issue, what was it and what did you end up doing to fix it.

Thanks for uploading to youtube I can hear now, sound like something might be loose, driveshaft ok? All the joints? How are the mounts? Anything making contact when it shouldn't?

I haven’t hit anything too hard recently but the car may be finally showing its mileage, around 103k miles, and I believe the only code coming up for the engine mounts is for the passenger side. The bushing around some of the front suspension parts do look pretty dry though.

Original owner right? Check the transmission mount too.

Second owner but the last 85k miles have been mine. I’m due for an oil change so I’ll ask my mechanic to take a look at those problem areas.

When was the transmission fluid last changed? What about rear differential, the facelift has an e-diff?
