Since I've replaced the shocks and springs, it seems to be getting worse.
Leading evidence: 'Replace shocks and springs' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Adjust sways, etc' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Green is relatively safe and won't be too much of a trouble like blue or red if you want to adjust the sways, etc.

Check the front shock clamp around the shock body.

Shot in the dark here....but have you checked the spare tire to make sure it's fastened down well?

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Outcome without a verified action link
I've replaced the shocks, sway bar end links, sway bar bushings and am still getting the noise and feel.
OK - I've had a noise at low speeds in the front end like something is loose. I was sure it was shocks gone bad as it seemed worse when going over rough tarmac on a corner. I've replaced the shocks, sway bar end links, sway bar bushings and am still getting the noise and feel. I know tie rods and control arms have been mentioned in many posts. Is there a way to truly isolate where the looseness/sound is coming from. Since I've replaced the shocks and springs, it seems to be getting worse. It's also been mentioned by the dealer that it could be the camber plates and the bushings at the top of the struts.
Any advice would really be appreciated.
Thanks Glenn
Check the front shock clamp around the shock body. It could be loose. Don't over-torque either as it's an aluminum clamp.
Check the top strut mount nuts and top strut nut. Those could get loose also.
Thanks Arnee - the shock clamp was loose from the recent install. Noise gone! Now I have to figure out how to get the get the adjustable sway bar end links to stay tight for longer than a couple days. May have to use lock tight or something similar.
No problem... glad you found it.
If it's something for the sway bar end links, you CAN use green loctite. It has a lower torque rating than the blue.
In terms of torque rating for loctite, it goes: red > blue > green
Green is relatively safe and won't be too much of a trouble like blue or red if you want to adjust the sways, etc.
