95 Civic DX Suspension Problem
 
Hey everyone, I'm new here, and I just bought a 1995 Honda civic DX with a manual transmission with 185k miles on it. It runs well, just a few issues with it. The one I have been trying to figure out has to do with the suspension.

First, the steering felt very loose and the struts felt very soft and the car felt boat-like when I would go into turns, so I fixed that by replacing both tie rod ends and changing the front struts out.

The next issue is (which I had hoped that it would get fixed by replacing the struts) that when I am driving down the road and hit a bump or pothole, there is a rattling/knocking noise somewhere in the front suspension. I cannot figure out what the culprit is, and I do not want to go about replacing every single suspension part in hoping to find the problem

Any advice?

Anyone?

There really isn't much on the front suspension to rattle. The only thing I could think of is the front swaybar, endlinks to be specific. If it's not that, it's probably something else unrelated to the suspension.
