If the swaybar endlink bolts aren't snugged, it will rattle, particularly around corners.

Oh. Around corners it's fine. It's only when I'm going over bumpy or uneven roads it starts to rattle.

Double-check your swaybar endlinks for play as well as the ball joint in the control arm.

Actually if going around corners it is quiet, then it is likely it IS you endlink bolts. They most likely stop rattling when the sway bar is loaded when in a turn. Make sure you use a box wrench and an Allen wrench to tighten. I used a long socket 10mm and a extension as a handle around the Allen wrench to get a better grip and really make sure that the endlink rod end dosent move while tightening.

This is the top bolt under the rubber dust cover?

No. That is your top mount shock bolt.

To tighten your endlink bolts you will need a lift or jack up the car. Removing the front wheels is recommended.

The end links are what connect your sway bar to the car. In our case, the car connection point are the front shocks. Look at your front sway bar's ends (pointed toward the front of the car). You will see that connecting the sway bar to the shock is a shaft looking thing with threaded screws pointing out on each end. That shaft thing is the end link. You want to tighten the nuts (2 per end link).
