I've got a similar rattle in the front end that you can also feel. Just replaced both tie rod ends, both ball joints, all new sway bar bushings and links, lower control arm rear bushings. I am planning to change the strut inserts but not without replacing the upper strut bearings as well. (I was hoping to put off the shocks for a while but the rattle will push that job up soon.)
You didn't say how many miles overall. Mine has 200K so it was all bad. Strut bearings are the most likely culprit. I've had them fail on other MacPherson strut cars.
