Default Rattle in the left front Suspension

I've been noticing a noise that sounds like a rattle coming from the left front when hitting any bumps. I'm wondering is this a bad end link or a bad shock.
The ride or handling don't seem to be effected at all. Also as far as i can tell the shock is not leaking at all.

15k Only Suspension mods are the Pro Kit springs.
Still on FE1 shocks.

I had the dealer check it when i got the oil changed last week.
Anyway. They ordered a new steering column. The rattle is in the column not the Suspension.

What's funny is a friend just had his replaced for the exact same noise on his 2010 last week. He's at 10K and i'm at 15K

From what i've seen on the other forums. It's play at the power steering gear.
