Suspension rattle

My suspension rattles and I'm not sure exactly what it is. If I hit a bump it doesn't happen, if I hit a pot hole it happens sometimes, it always happens on bumpy roads. It sounds like the rear struts and front passenger strut are loose. I checked the front and everything I can think of is tight. I just got done doing a FS-ZE swap and only did a little suspension work in the front, none in the back. I put in new sway bar end links and tie rod ends on both sides and a new control arm on the drivers side. Any help is appreciated!!
 
Sway bar bushings, front? Sway bar link and bushings in the rear? Strut mount? Noises are incredibly difficult to diagnose via a forum. I'd first go back over and check your front sway links to make sure they're secure.
 
I thought about the sway bar bushings, haven't given them a look yet. It could be the control arm ball joint or strut mounts/bushings. The sway bar end links are good, brand new MOOG on both sides, double checked and they're tight.
