Default Ghost rattle

Every time I hit the slightest bump get a rattle on left or right front wheel area depending which side hits the bump, sounds like struts not bolted. I have raised the car and can find nothing loose. It is a loud rattle. Bugging the ???? out of me.
Thank you for any help.

Some of the more common culprits are:

-Upper shock bushings
-Anti-roll bar end links
-Engine bay diagonal struts


The engine bay struts need to be extra tight in my experience, as do the lower shock absorber bolts

Cheers
