Default rattling noise in front suspension

Please help
96 Honda Accord LX
I am hearing rattling noise from the front suspension on the driver side. It comes and goes but I don't know what is causing it. One of theory from other post might be the bushing from the anti-sway bar. I suspect it might be the suspension. But I am not sure how easy or how hard it is to find and replace the bushing. Please help. How hard it is to change the suspension by myself?

best advice i can give u is to raise the car and chk , suspension components for looseness or wear, chk sway bar bushings make sure they are not broken or missing, chk ball joints for looseness upper and lowers, chk the struts , chk radius rods,

does the noise come only over bumps?? or is it there even on smooth surfaces ??

the noise is worst when it runs over bump. However, it comes and goes.
On the sway bar bushings, is it something I can change? There is so many bushing on the stablizer bars. One is connected to the lower arm. Is this the one we are talking about. Thank you in advance.

put abunch of grease to see if you can lower the noise, if it does, you know your bushing is messing up.

anyway, i might be you have a snapped linkage also, honda is replacing the weak swaybar linkage to something stronger.
