I did not figure out the noise. I haven't made a point to record the sound.
I'm not familiar with that rubber part you are talking about on the power steering rack. I did yank on the rack a few different ways when it was on a lift though. Nothing suspicious.

I would say if the noise started after the new links for sure suspect them.

I could see the "hollow"ness of the sound being an effect of the sound deadening quality of the frame mounted bushings combined with the bell like tone of a sway bar being impacted, giving you a sort of dull ring.
It's like 98% not the sway bar endlinks.
As I said, noise was there before and after new end links. Old end links looked in great condition.
Noise seems to be coming from the top of the front of the car.

I'm now suspecting the top of the struts.
