You probably have a bad sway bar link, take it to a shop and have them check thefront endfor any kind of play.

A sway bar link isnt gonna cause play in the wheel. At least i couldnt see how. But a bad link will definitely cause some rattling. It could be ont of many things that make noise in the suspension though. Could be blown strut, ball joint, sway bar link, something could be loose

I agree that a link wont have play thats why he should takeit to a shop to check the FE out to see if he has any play, like you said from a tie rod or balll joint.
