Front suspension rattle?

[1996Z15]

I have a '93 Notch that has this annoying rattle / jingling sound when I hit bumps. I have replaced lower control arms that came loaded with new bushings and ball joints and the car has Bilstein struts. Could the tie rods cause such symptoms or do you think it could be something else?

Thanks

Does the car have aftermarket Camber Caster plates?
There is a couple different aftermarket sets that rattle.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it does. The car has Maximum Motorsport adjustable CC plates and the car recently had an alignment done. If they are what is causing the rattle is there a way to quiet them down?

Maximums stuff is usually pretty good, so i doubt they are the problem, but you never know.

Jack up the front half of the car, and shake the hell out of everything by hand

End links that are not cinched tight enough can make noise over bumps.

Also worn or deteriorated sway bar bushings can cause noise as well. I have had two Mustangs with bad bushings on the drivers side sway bar mount due to a leaking power steering pump.

Mine is rattling up front and it's the sway bar bushings. So I would definately check them if you have them.

I had the problem with the swaybar bushings but that was more of a thump than a rattle and it was caused by a leaking power stering pump.
