What's that noise? What's that rattle?

Default What's that noise? What's that rattle?

I've got an '88 GT with 170k miles. Last night I finished replacing the lower ball joints. After I finished I went for ride. There was a significant decrease in rattling due to the suspension, but the driver's side still has a rattle. Here's how I can create it: Driving down the road, I swerve to the left and then back to the right. (Just a little swerve within a 12ft traffic lane will suffice.) When the weight of the car shifts from right to left, I hear and feel a rattle on the driver's side. What could cause this sound?
BTW, I have already installed new lower ball joints, new rotors, and new bearings.

It's in the front of the car, and it appears to be around the suspension.
