Try replacing the lower shock bushing, $7 part and 20 minutes work. I got poly bushings from sobstory and they were easy to put on, pull the lower shock mount nut, pull the old bushing out, put the poly unit on the mount and line the shock over it. Then just persuade it on with a 2x4 and reinstall the nut.
Could also be the sway bar mount end bushing, a $30 part if stock rubber as the mount comes with the bushing. Again, a poly bushing is like $10, but you have to pull the mount and use a vice to get the poly bushing in. Make sure you have it going in the right direction when you use the vice. Also, since the ball joint bolts hold the mount to the A frame, buy a set of ball joint bolts ($5) as they are not meant to be retourqed a second time. Give Jim at sobstory a call.
