Rattling in front suspension & rough idle 850 1995

I have a '95 854 Turbo with 43,400 miles on it. I've noticed in the past couple months that there is a rattling sound in the front suspension when I go over even small bumps. It sounds like something is broken or loose, but actually the car drives and handles just fine. Any ideas what it is? I tried pressing down on the front of the car and it made no noise, it only makes the noise when I go over a small bump or discrepancy on the road.

Also I've noticed that my car idles weird. It's sort of rough and pretty loud. Keep in mind the car only has 43,400 miles, but the previous owner used 89 octane fuel most of the time. Could the fuel system just be a little clogged or dirty? I'm thinking maybe a can of BG 44k may help. Any idears?

Thanks!
