2007 E70 adaptive drive suspension noise

Hi there,

I've been battling some suspension issues for sometime including some clunks and the rattle in this video. The clunks on hard braking are gone but I can't figure out where this rattle is coming from.

I've replaced both sides:
1. lower thrust arm.
2. middle thrust arm.
3. sway bar end links.
4. rebuilt shocks on both sides with all of the rubber pieces replaced and new upper strut mount.
5. the sway bar was replaced about 2 years ago.

I've also removed the steering ball joints at the wheel and have felt for play everywhere but cannot find any.

Finally today i removed the sway bar end links and drive down the road to a pot hole at the end of the street and the noise is still there so the noise doesn't appear to be related to the sway bar.

thanks for the help!
