Question Mystery Rattle

Driving me nuts!!! I've checking everything I can possibly think of. In the past month Ive replaced my brakes (everything but the lines), exhaust, and the tranny. All bolts on those are snug as can be. Im not exactly sure when the rattle started, but Im about to lose my mind.

Ideas? I thought about strapping the ol' lady to the crossmember and going for a ride, but I don't think she'd go for it.

A/C line?

Is it possible your transmission coolant line is rubbing against an A/C line? That's what was causing my rattle.

Did you put the crossmember on upside-down?

Try the front swaybar end links I had a mystery rattle and that was it. I replaced the left side and now the right side is going. Use a pry bar between the frame and the link with the wheels on the ground just turn the wheel to the left or right to acces
