Front End Knocking
Also check the steering input shaft. There is a TSB addressign that as well. I had a rattle felt in the steering wheel, noticed the most when off road, rocky. I had the bushings replaced and it helped but did not eliminate it. The steering input shaft corrected what the bushing did not fix. -

How to "de-funk" damp carpets?
I would get it done by a pro. A professional detai shop should have some good cleaners and know how to get it clean and musty free. If you want to do it yourself, try a baking soda based carpet cleaner that you pour onto the carpet and vacuum up. -
