VerifiedHello and welcome to justanswer.com
Do you hear the noise when driving straight them making quick steering maneuvers rocking the weight of the vehicle side to side?
Ok since it does not make the noise when doing that we should be able to rule out the anti roll bar rubber bushings and links. Based on your description and my experiences I suspect the noise is either in the air shock or the upper control arm. Diagnosing this will not be easy. In order to properly check the upper control arm it needs to be separated from the knuckle by loosening and removing the upper ball joint nut. Then once removed the upper control arm ball joint and bushings can be checked for excessive movement. The air shocks can also be swapped side to side to see if the noise travels.
