Rattle front end

Sup guys, having a rattle from the front end. 16k on the clock don't really think it could be control arms but I am unsure.

Any input is appreciated thanks.

Wrap your hand around the swaybar/link joint while you have someone shove/rock the front body side to side.
If that is not the clunk, do the same thing at all the other pivot points

So it seems that my friend a mechanic believes the strut has an aggressive angle to it. Possibly control arms?

Anyone think it could be a control arm angle issue and the Oem control arms can't compensate ?

Back off then re-torque your sway bar end links with the tires on the ground. I'd try that first.

Back the end links out a bit, then re tighten?

Did you replace the upper control arms? If not, did you loosen the control arm bolts? One thing that's necessary is to loosen the control arm bolts and retighten them with the vehicle on the ground. If not, they'll have the bushings tightened with stress already on them.
I had a rattle on mine but it was just a loose control arm bolt.
