Front end "rattle'!

Have a slight rattle when going over bumps in the road... Front only.. With all the views on ball joints..could this be a symptom? Have raised the front and checked the ball joints, all seems well. No obviouos movement.

Any suggestions. I had a 1979 Mercury Cougar that used to make a similar noise and it was the control arm bushings...

Thanks in advance for the help..

Ball Joints and/or sway bar bushings.
