I'm just curious, I have a super annoying rattle too. I know my front shocks are shot, but haven't replaced them. I've replaced both LCAs, and both stabilizer bar links.

I was wondering if you had ever replaced the stabilizer bar mount bushings. I haven't had a chance to do it (it's only a $3 part), but was curious if you, or anyone has seen them deteriorate to where the stabilizer bar could rattle up and down. it's part number 6 (if the picture shows up)

Had the exact same problem. Started looking and found every bushing was dry rotted and worthless. (6 years in the Texas heat will do that. lol) Changed out the links, and all the bushings including the stabilizer bushings AND the sub-frame dampers. Haven't had any problems in 30K. Everything was super easy to replace except the sub-frame dampers. Also check motor mounts. Sometimes they go bad and make you think it's the suspension.

Note: When replacing the stabilizer bushings take the weight off both wheels or it may spring back on you when you unbolt it.
