Default 2004 Rx 330 Suspension Rattle with Air

I have an 04 rx 330 with air suspension

The swaybar end links have just been replaced on the front and a rattling noise persists.

The noise happens over large and small bumps at high and low speeds at normal and low vehicle height. When the height is at "HI" the noise is louder and it feels as though the front end is shaking loose over bumps at 10 km/h+.

I took it in and was advised to replace the end links, they did so and returned it claiming the noise was gone.

The air compressor and struts are in working condition.

I have done a search through the forum, not extensive... I was wondering which other components come loose/wear and cause a clunk/rattle/shudder noise.

Also, tires are new and at approx. 32-34 psi.

Your input is appreciated.

could the the sway bar bushings, they are cheap, might want to give those a go.

lower ball joints need to be checked, as well as lower control arm bushings.
