Have somebody rock the car while you check for the source of the noise.

Also don't rule out things outside the suspension. I had a rattle coming from the hood latch once.

If you are the same person who posted recently about this, didn't you also do your motor mounts?
After that, I would inspect the u-joint connector for the steering column.
