Question front end suspension noise

lately i've been noticing a clunking noise everytime i hit a
small bump or driving through bumpy roads.
I've searched and most hears the noise when turning or braking.

any ideas?

I took a quick look and everything is in place. Sway bar links and mounts.

If I change my shock mount when I install my RB springs, do you guys think it will go away?

My car is making a "creaking" noise from the front. It doesn't always happen. Not even when I go over speed bumps... what is it?

I have this too.

Sometimes at idle I could hear it. This on top of the clunking noise.

I remember reading somewhere about the creaking noise to be somewhere around the dash...

shock mounts are on backorder. When I change them I will post results
