Default Rattle

I have a 90 chevy 4x4 1500 with a front end rattle. Only noticable going down very bumpy roads. It sounds like a shock would sound pounding against the inner fender. 3 alignment shops have checked the front end and can't find the rattle. Everything seems tight. They think it could be play in the left axle shaft. Is it supposed to have end to end play?

What about the stabiliser bar bushing? Doesn't take muck loose to make noise...
