Deep rattling noise over bumpy road persists after...

...front end overhaul. Just finished putting in 4 new ball joints and both tie rod ends on my '85 SPG. I had lots of problems before, and now the car drives and feels fantastic. Thing is, one of the many different noises remains. It's a deep, muted rattling that seems to be coming from very low down in front, kind of towards the middle of the car... It sounds very similar whether I hit uneven surfaces with the left or right wheel.
I didn't change the outer sway bar bushings, but did inspect them and they appeared to be in excellent condition.
The only things I can think of that I didn't inspect or replace are the spring seat bushings, and inner sway bar bushings. My guess is it's the inner sway bar bushings, but just want to make sure the symptoms sound consistent before I order them and do the work...
Thanks!
