You probably need new spring isolators.

Check the balljoints. Theyll sound like a squeaky bed. Youll need a balljoint press if you need to replace them.

just rip apart the front suspension, check your sway arm chassis mounts as well, at least grease em...ball joints, swar bar endlinks if u run the front bar sound like a culprit...but i'd look at the upper strut bushings up front as well, were they greased when installed? or were they even replaced? its only rubber...and its cheap...but ya know...ball joints would probly have other symptoms like wandering..etc
