front end rattle when warm

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me on this:

My car feel tight when cold and after driving it more than 1/2 hour, my front end make noises when hitting a pavement crack at lower speed (mostly around 10-25mph). It sounds like you put a bolt in a cardboard box.
Sent to to mechanic and they could not find anything wrong.
I even checked all the components myself and could not find any play in the suspension. After reading couple cases similar to mine, I went ahead to replace the drop link, sway bar bushing, inner/outer tie rods and the noise is still there.
I'm really out of idea on what to replace.
The car has 52K miles.

Thinking about throwing new control arms (fork and wishbone) and put new shocks and mount... But if I do that it means I put all new front suspension

Anybody has similar experience or idea where the noise comes from??
