You need new chains and guides.

It won’t, the chain is stretched or the front guide is worn or breaking.

I will get parts ordered, what can I do to keep this from happening again. I replaced all of these parts 30,000 miles ago.

Would you get upset if I suggested taking it to a mechanic? You haven't mentioned any OBD2 codes, just a rattle sometimes.

A loose chain would set a CEL.

BTW, the front of the engine is the passenger side

Not upset, looked at my post and I did not explain properly. I meant to say the part of the chain that is loose is toward the front of the car.

No check engine light, just rattle at cold start sometimes.

So a loose timing chain will cause a check engine light?
