rattling noises can be from a number of things. But you shouldn't have them. Years ago I had a clunk after a suspension install and it took me forever to find the culprit. Ended up being some sand/dirt that had gotten into the bearings of the front strut hat. After cleaning them out and regreasing, the clunk went away for good. Since you can do that while the car is sitting on the ground, I say you do that first.
But yeah, you could have blown out the struts if you let the piston spin around.
