Default suspension noise

My front suspension on my 96 chevy 4x4 sounds like a bag of bolts. I have replaced the front sway bar bushings and end links,shocks, and ball joints. The problem still persists. Now the front right has a really loud persistent rattle. Could this be related to the control arm bushings, axle or maybe my wheel bearings. Please help.

Default RE: suspension noise

Went to my friends shop today and discovered that the front right upper shock bolt was not tight enough. I manually tightend the nuts when I replaced the shocks that I bought from Napa. I purchased skyjacker nitro 8000 shocks for the front and installed them. The severe rattle is gone. Always tighten nuts with an air wrench. One or two threads to loose and you have vibration noises.. The ride is way better with the quality shocks. Any ideas what else to replace to improve my ride?
