^^^that's my bet. That's what rattled on my front end for months before I figured it out. Inexpensive part, 20 minutes to replace.

Did you change the ball joint as well ? Another option maybe is the steering linkage . Can you feel a loose in the steering at all ?

Check the sway bar end links, they could be loose/bad.

Hey guys I apologize the late response .
Finally took it in due to rattling and was leaving for a trip .
Was told by one place
Bad spindle (wait whoever did struts didn't tighten,myfriend?)
Lower tie rod
Swaybar bushing (two rubber peices on a bar in front
Left and right axle shafts
Alignment
Took to another place .
They replaced spindle , left right axle shafts , sway bushings.
And sure enough, I still have a rattle ???
And driving on highway to vacation it wants to pull left a ton, I'm guessing I still need an alignment ..
But what could this rattle be !?!?!?
