Default Need help with rattle/clunk noise going over small bumps.....(not control arms)

I've read through the archives a lot but haven't found much besides control arm stuff. I get a but of a rattle or clunk going over small bumps like bump on the way into a driveway. I have had my control arms inspected and am told they are fine, I have also replaced my stabilizer links and still get the rattle. Ano other ideas? It sounds to me like a loose joint somewhere. I'd appreciate any thoughts

Inspect the control arms yourself. take each wheel off and try to wiggle stuff.
