Rattle/bumping sound

Ok, so I have an 03 I35. I ended up having the dealership I bought the car from replace my struts. They were cool enough (used car dealership in VA) to go ahead and buy me a set of Tokico blues and I bought a set of S-Tech's. Now, this was done simply because one of the stock struts was blown and there was a bit of a rattling/bumping sound coming from the front pass. side. The car would sound fine when it would hit a single bump but when the road was rutted out if you will it would almost sound like spring chatter. This was occuring with the stock suspension on the car. The new set up is on the car as of yesterday and while the sound is quieter you can still hear it when the road has lots of bumps in it. Just curious what I should be looking for at this point. From what I can see, the bushings look ok and do not appear to have any excessive wear on them. The car only has 50k on it and appears to have been driven lightly judging by everything else on the car. Has anyone experienced any of this in the past?
