Help With Front End Problem

I'm hearing a clattering sound coming from the front end of my car. I'm assuming its coming from my front sway bar since its been doing it right after the day after I replaced it. I've looked at it twice now but everything seems to be tightened down properly. Wheels are mounted and balanced properly. Front end is aligned, Just replaced blown tokico struts last week too. New endlinks on the eibach sway bar as well, but I keep hearing this damn rattling noise at low speeds (under 5mph)...

Any ideas on what else to look at?

It sounds like a loose end link. Hit it with an impact gun. You may think their tight but they just spin freely.
I had the same problem but mine was creaking when i hit bumps.... but not any more

Whoops, I didn't realize the moog end links have a 15mm nut hidden behind the rubber dust cover. Tightened them down better and it got rid of the rattle.
