Default 97 LHS Rattle in front suspension

Front struts replaced with Monroe quick struts. There is now a rattle as car is driven. Struts are torqued & tight, all 4 subframe bushings are new & tight. Vehicle drives & handles perfectly.

Any possibilities for the noise would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ball joints, stabilizer bar. I once had a nasty rattle in my Mercury Sable that turned out to be the inner tie rods. There are lots of things under there that can rattle including body parts.

Check the tie rod ends and wheel balance. Check for an out-of-round tire or a bent rim.
Don't over-tighten the lug nuts by letting some ape with an air gun go at them full blast. Thge proper torque is 95 ft-lbs. Overtightening risks cracking the wheel and leaving you stranded on the side of the road with a flat and a wheel you can't get off.
As for rattles, see the previous post. I can't tell you what's rattling on your car. Somebody is going to need to look at it carefully.
