Default Cold Weather & Suspension Chatter

ok so...this happened last year, but it wasnt really a concern for me until now since i'm tryin to offload my car via trade/sell...
so yea, my driverside front wheel well chatters whenever i go over bumps...small bumps, medium bumps, big bumps...it sounds like sound popcorn makes when its popping. and the noise is temperature related...never makes it during the summer time, and as it get colder out, the noise presents itself more and more.
it only chatters when its below 50 degrees outside....
...the warmer it is outside, the less it makes the noise...so if its say 45 degrees outside, i start driving, it'll gradually go away after about 30 mins of driving. and the colder it is outside, the longer it takes to go away as i drive.

i'm thinkin its my sway bar end links on that side...
someone suggested that i be my balljoint...but that whole assembly with the control arm was replaced over the summer...and even before that was replaced, it made the noise last winter time

any ideas?
