    I checked it's all tight no noticeable damage to any parts Spring didnt seem to be outta place or loose only thing I can think of is maybe the sway bar hitting the chassis. Any ideas ?

    your rattle

    Look under the suspension, there is a plastic cover that protects your strut. Its probably hitting the frame. I took mine off and the dealer charges 100 bucks to fix it
