Suspension noise

Any idea to what this noise may be? It happens when going over bumps or going over rough roads. I've re-greased my hotchkis sway bar and replaced the end links already.

Grab the shock or any other component while bouncing the car like you are in the video. You may be able to narrow it down to where exactly it's coming from that way. You should be able to feel it.
