Still a rattle in right front....

I went and got new struts and a new right front strut mount and I still have a slight rattle like sound when I'm going at slower speeds. I have tugged around on all the suspension parts and the upper and lower part of the wheel not alot of give in the wheel so its not ball joints. its just a quiet rattle at say around 5-35 or so I don't feel it in the wheel or anything I just hear it. I think it could be the control arm bushings they look a little worn out but not real bad they don't move any when I tug on them. Any Ideas let me know

Check sway bar end links and LCA bushings. Also lube all the tie rod ends / BJs to prevent false diagnosis from dry parts. A broken or loose sway bar end link can really make a lot of creaks and moans, and I wouldn't be suprised if that was it. Go for ES polyurethane if you have to purchase new ones.

My dad was thinking it could be the tierod ends themselves. Are they expensive and is that a do it yourself fix. What is the LCA bushing wand where is it located
