My 03 Caravan Sport (short wheelbase) has a very annoying metallic
rattle underneath.

What should I look for?

Thanks

The first place I would like at is the exhaust system. Probably come from
some type of heat shield that has come loose and vibrating.

More information please?
Where exactly is "underneath"? Is it only when you strike a bump or all the
time? Only when the vehicle is moving or also when sitting at a stop?

Without any additional info, and if when you hit a bump, I'd guess it was
the front sway bar links which are easily replaced.

Thanks, I will look a litte bit closer.

Initially I thought it was the thin aluminum tubes that run on the
underside, as there is some play in them, but after padding them (with
an old mouse pad), the rattle was still there.

Thanks again.

My rusted out cat converter rattled like crazy. Check yours out.
