98 squeaks groans

Okay I realize my 98 explorer is 7 years old but I have this bad
squeak/clunk coming from the front end. When you push down on the front
end it sound as if it is coming from the shock. I just replaced the
shocks so this is not the problem. When your inside the vehicle moving
the sound resonates right through the steering column but it does not
do it while turning the wheel only when going over a bumo or irregular
surface. Bushings? If somebody has a clue let me know. Thanks
