Question Suspension rattles

My suspension is rattling now over bumps, especially at low speeds. I had my struts replaced not too long ago, so I know it can't be those.

What can it be? Links? Bushings?

I would like to replace whatever I can all at once, especially if it's just the links, I might as well have my mechanic replace the bushings or something else if it's not that much more work.

Need more info, what exactly did you replace and what brands? Most common failure points are sway bar links and bushings.

Just the struts?

What about strut mounts?
Sway bar endlinks? Sway bar bushings?
Ball joints?
Lower control arm bushings?
Wheel lug nuts?
Tie rods?
etc... etc....

How do you know it's your suspension that's rattling?

I ask because I had a rattle coming from my hood latch.
