I have a rattle coming from the front when car is moving only. It is most noticable when driving slowing on a bumpy road. Could it be struts or stabelizer links?

You mentioned two possibilities.

Raise car, put on stands. Grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, if any movement then possible wheel bearing, ball joint, tie rod, control arm bushing.

Check CV boots for any signs of leakage or cuts/rips in rubber boot.

With car up, grasp strut cartridge and see if it is loose.
